Derek:
Hi Kev

Suppose I guessed as much on the date !

I was surprised at the number of bidders that are already expressing an interest and bidding serious money so early in the auction - normally they play their cards at the last minute - or have  a snipe set up.

Good luck should you be in one of those categories !

Frank:
Probably because it is a stunning weight, this could also push up the benchmark on prices... look at the size of the bruise!

Derek:
Hi Frank

and look how near the outer ring of canes appears to the edge of the dome - any restoration and I bet theres a fair chance that the ring of canes will be virually invisible from the top

Regards

Derek

Frank:
Only an idiot would polish it out and would certainly loose the optical effect! On the other hand it is good to see people rating beauty above minor defects.

KevinH:
It's only the dome magnification effect that makes the canes appear to be close to the edge. But if really heavy polishing was needed to remove the bruise, then there could be some distortion of the view of the garland of canes from the top view.
