Condition Report
Basket has been secured to base with a bolt. Condition overall appears good, although there are a few small nibbles/losses of enamels to the tips of leaves and petal edges. One leaf also looks like it is missing from the stem.

There are no significant damages to the basket or the foliage and likewise, the cherubs are in good order with no breakages or missing appendages. There is some slight rubbing to the gilding around the interior of the basket.

No signs of hidden restoration under UV light.
