Bidding ended. Lot has been sold.
Small restoration to one of the chilong's legs. Some restoration around bases. Some wear to the gilding. A UV lamp picks up extensive hairline cracks to the body of each vase. This is likely to have been done at the time of manufacture rather than later restoration
