Condition report:
The collection shows varying degrees of wear consistent with age and use. The 1917 carved wooden panel exhibits multiple white paint splatters across the surface and several shallow scratches, notably in the left field (photo 5 and 6). The rattan mirror frame shows minor surface abrasions and dust accumulation in the scrollwork (photo 4). The frames of the animal drawings show light scuffing at the corners, and the larger tiger print frame has minor surface marks (photo 8). The watercolor landscape appears to have some slight foxing or staining to the upper sky region (photo 2). All glass components appear intact without visible cracks or chips.
