In fair condition for their age, there is damage, as one would expect on such a delicate piece. Many of the flowers have chipped petals, one of the necks of the vases appears to have been repaired. Please look at photos carefully.

The pieces are marked on bottom with his signature "JP" and also feature a vintage tag from Andre Chenue & FIls, a world renown and highly regarded French company started in 1760 as the exclusive layetiers for Marie Antoinette, in charge of handling the royal works of art. To this day they provide professional packaging, shipping, and collection management for great works of art. This gives a wonderful additional provenance to the pieces and indicates they may have once been in an important collection. less
