Glass diameter 3.8 cm, 7.3 cm closed (see illustration). CONDITION REPORT: The shagreen case is in good order throughout. The edges, top and the hinge area are slightly worn and faded but it is generally a good uniform colour. Generally the shagreen on the glass is in good order however there is a small tiny patch which looks like a repair which has replaced six small cells. The eyepiece and housing are in good order as is the single draw. The end lens housing has a single crack and a small piece of ivory missing, the screw which this fits to has a 1.5 mm x 2 mm section of ivory missing. Both the glasses appear to be free from any scratches or chips.

The silver mounts have small knocks and are tarnished. There is a 14 cm strip of dark brown going to light brown staining but we am not sure what this is. There is a bend at the base of the shaft. 10 cm below the silver collar there is a very fine 12 cm hairline crack to the shaft. The lower half of the shaft is extremely crazed. The blade itself is double edged and there are patches of rust throughout.

CONDITION REPORT: The 19th Century ivory and turned wood counteriis in good condition throughout other than a small piece of material to the underside missing but this does not detract in any shape or form. The folding glasses in the case are in good order throughout. The lorgnettes may have been gilded previously but this has worn away leaving the base metal however they are still in working, serviceable order. The silver mounted bookmark is in good order. The gilded brass bookmark with cat mask terminal has the glass eyes still inset. The mouse on block on the opposite end of the ribbon is in good order albeit the alabaster block does have some very slight rub mark around the edges. On the whole this is a very good lot and faults would be basically wear and tear that is commensurate with age.
Lot 1418
A portrait miniature on ivory, gentleman, early 19th century, mounted in copper frame and backing, with suspension loop. Image 5 cm x 3.8 cm (see illustration). CONDITION REPORT: As you look at the image there appears to be a small tiny flake of paint at the very tip of his collar on the left hand side just below his wisps of hair, this may be visible if you enlarge the image on the website. There appear to be no cracks or warping to the ivory, the glass does appear to be rather dirty underneath but not overly so and the image remains bright and crisp. There does not appear to be any overpainting or restoration and no obvious faults.
