A Minton parian figure of Sir Henry Havelock

Condition Report
The sword from his clutched hands is missing, but there are no signs of associated breakages to the base or the fingers. Beyond that, it appears in an original order with no chips or any restorations. Any obvious dirt or discolouration seems to come off easily with a slightly damp cloth, so it would just benefit from a clean.

Bidding indicates acceptance of the condition of the lot.  All lots are sold subject to general wear and tear commensurate with age and handling over time and only obvious faults will be mentioned after a visual inspection. If you have particular specialist questions on any lot, please state these before bidding since we cannot and will not provide a forensic examination of any lot but only a general condition report as a guide only. All condition reports given by Halls Holdings Ltd's representatives or agents are statements of opinion and not fact. If you require any further information about any lots in this auction or about bidding please do not hesitate to contact us again.
