We send you a detailed report regarding the condition of the pieces on request.

It is an analysis of the state of preservation of a piece, reporting on the condition or possible damage to the object.
Several points are analyzed and taken into account :

- We analyze the natural effects of time - the degree of normal wear of the object, for instance through an analysis of the freshness of the decoration, the gold, or the enamel.

- We consider the state of preservation: we will assess any accident damage (such as knocks, missing parts, cracks) and estimate the extent and seriousness.

- We will point out any restorations made on the object.
