There are remnants of old discoloured glue around the edge of the mother of pearl seat, where two pieces of mother of pearl join at the back of the seat. This may be original and has dried and discoloured over time. There are very small remnants of dried glue to the inner edge of the joining of the nephrite and gold at the opening of the door which are most likely original. One of the nephrite poles is loose and another has traces of glue around the join of the nephrite to the reeded gold pole although it does not appear to have been cracked. The nephrite and rock crystal panels are in good order. The wooden box has some surface scratching, some tearing to the silk lining at the hinge and some typical discolouration to the velvet where the chair sits. 3 tiny holes in goldwork at the top of carriage on the left hand side when facing. TIny scratches to the windows. Chip to the Nephrite, at the base, in one corner. It is highly recomended that you view in person to satisfy yourself of condition before bidding.
