Condition Report
Small spots and speckles of surface dirt trapped behind the glazing. There are some small bugs at the bottom of the miniature. The ivory is a little dished at the edges. On very close inspection it is possible to see some light scuffs and marks to the background but overall the miniature presents well with no obvious restoration apparent to the naked eye. A little rubbing to the frame.

Buying a pre-loved, antique, or vintage item not only provides you with unique style and value for money but it also helps to reduce landfill, and the annual emissions of an antique or vintage piece can be as little as one sixteenth of those of its new equivalent!
