Overview
Martell Sélection: identification and appraisal guide
A good first set of images for Martell Sélection connects the complete Cognac bottle or decanter with its marks, wear and original accessories. Show the maker or producer name Martell first, then use separate close-ups for the label, seal, fill level, glass, bottle base and presentation case.
Identification details
- Maker: Martell
- Product name: Martell Sélection
- Category: Cognac or brandy
- Marks and details to photograph: the brand, expression or grade, bottle size, bottle engraving and edition markings
Photograph the maker or producer name Martell as the identifying detail for Martell Sélection. Keep the presentation case, stopper, certificate and purchase papers in the same photo set.
Photographs and condition
Add a wider companion image for close-ups of front and back labels, closure or stopper, fill level, bottle base, engraving, box and accessories. A wider companion image should place every close-up in context.
Without cleaning anything, photograph fill level, seal, stopper, labels, bottle or decanter and presentation box. Show wear in context and include a closer image of any serious damage.
Storage, accessories and handover
Between photography and handover, store the Cognac upright away from direct light and heat. Leave the seal, stopper, cork, closure, glass and label in their current condition.
Keep the stopper, box, booklet and purchase documents with the bottle or decanter they accompany.
