Condition report

Lot 1050, the Brandy warmer has been mis-catalogued and that is not by Paul de Lamerie but by Pierre Platel. Please see the above amendment.It is the mark for London, circa 1710. There are no assay marks on the piece to confirm quality or date and it is the maker\\\\\\\'s mark which is rubbed to the bottom. The warmer itself is in good order. There are no holes or repairs and no major dents. There are a couple of splits to the handle. We do believe the armorial engraving to be original to the warmer. Please see the attached images.
