George Slous (1777-1839) Portrait of an army officer, half-length, in uniform miniature on ivory, oval 8 x 6cm, in a red leather case IMPORTANT NOTE This lot contains elephant ivory material. Please be advised that several countries, including those in the EU and the USA, now prohibit the importation of ivory items unless under specific conditions. Accordingly, prospective buyers should familiarise themselves with the relevant customs regulations of their country and ensure they are able to import this item prior to bidding. This item has been registered as exempt from the UK Ivory Act 2018. Condition Report: On very close inspection some fine superficial scratches are visible, but to the the naked eye the portrait presents well. The ivory is slightly 'dished' at the edges but appears to be in otherwise good overall condition. The hinge of the case is broken and the glass is detached.
