Condition
Good overall condition.
The bronze, regilt, presents some light traces of wear, some hairline scratches consistent with age and normal use and a crack to the foot of one vase. The earthenwear presents some hairline superficial cracks and traces of old restorations (notably two along approx. 20 cm to the top of one of the vases, on the front and near the bronze mount and a minor area to the left edge of the base, near the bronze). The other vase has been broken and restored in several areas. The carved bases present some cracks, traces of knocks and dents, notably along the edges and some elements have been reglued on the overall surface. A few rare and old worm-holes.
Bon état général.
La bronze, redoré, présente de légères traces d'usure, de petites rayures dues au temps et à l'usage et une fissure au pied de l'un des vases. Le grès des vases présentent quelques fins fêles superficiels, craquelures de la glaçure et traces de restauration (notamment deux longs d'environ 20 cm au sommet de l'un des vases en façade et près de la monture en bronze et une petite zone à la base, à l'arrière du côté gauche). L'ensemble de l'autre vase a été cassé et restauré en plusieurs endroits. Les bases en bois présentent des fissures, traces de petits chocs et enfoncements, notamment le long des bords et certains éléments ont été recollés sur l'ensemble de la structure. Quelques rares et anciens trous de vers.
