Topic: tabby repair advice

This satinated cat statue was made by Baccarat between 1870 and 1885. Sadly it seems to have been in a fight and lost one ear - maybe I should call it Vincent?

What I'd like to know, what is wisdom.

[ ] leave as is and let the next owner deal with it
[ ] use a dremel to satinate the broken ear so it is less obvious
[ ] use a professional repair service and fill in the ear with a resin

Luckily the dog that came with it is unharmed, it just looks guilty...

Let the next owner deal with it.

That way, they know exactly the extent of the damage when purchasing, and they can make up their own mind about how they would best like the problem dealt with - as the person who will be living with it.

the difference being that Vincent increased the value of his works immeasurably by removing his own appendage - regrettably, in the case of your piece, it simply looses most of its value.

I'd agree with Sue  -  leave well alone.............  resin....tut, tut.

I think the loose ear may have caused the item to lose some value

Who can resist an injured moggie needing a bit of tlc?

I can.

You're not getting near my beautiful wee amputee Muzzy, then!

It's a French cat.  The obvious answer....
