Condition Report
Both scent bottles display general wear and surface marks and scratches. There are various minor chips and nicks to the glass, mainly along the cut edges. The silver mounts both display areas of tarnishing and there is some loss of detail to the floral decoration on both. There is more loss of detail to the decoration on one of the bottles and there is also a possible repair to the silver on this bottle, as there is evidence of soldering all around the hinge. The hinged cover is also now fairly loose although it does still close properly. Partial distortion to hallmarks and maker's marks but most still legible.
