Condition Report
The pomanders appear in good overall condition, displaying some expected general wear and tarnishing and also surface marks and scratches. Slight loss of detail to some areas of the decoration. Traces of gilding remain, especially to the removable sections, suggesting that they were possibly once gilded throughout. Hallmarked to the stems and corresponding part hallmarks to removable crowns, some slight rubbing and distortion but mostly clear and legible. Removable parts numbered 8 and 5.
