Condition Report
Both appear in fairly good overall condition, displaying some general wear, surface marks and scratches. Tarnishing and a few minor dints to the metal mounts and both would benefit from a clean and polish. Hinged lid to the pomander appears in working order and the screw cover on the scent appears to fit well. Nibbles and small chips to glass, more so on the scent bottle, which also has several small chips around the neck rim. Residues of a substance in the pomander. Scent bottle missing stopper.
