Overview
Martell Napoleon Cognac: identity, condition and appraisal details
The opening photographs for Martell Napoleon Cognac should answer two points: the seal and the bottle engraving. Next, photograph the presentation box and the closure around the Martell Cognac house name, using the edition marking to show the surrounding condition.
Reading the Cognac or brandy details
- Brand / Cognac house: Martell
- Product: Martell Napoleon Cognac
- Category: Cognac or brandy
- Key details: the brand, expression or grade, bottle size, bottle engraving and edition markings
Before naming a version of Martell Napoleon, photograph the brand, expression or grade, bottle size, bottle engraving and edition markings clearly and request another angle for any incomplete or conflicting mark.
Photographs that show key details
Begin with one uncropped overview, then add the front and back labels, fill level, closure, bottle base, bottle engraving, stopper, presentation box and certificate; keep a wider locating view beside every close-up so the requested detail stays tied to Martell Napoleon.
Condition notes for Martell Napoleon should cover the fill level, closure, labels, bottle, stopper and presentation box; leave existing wear visible and show where packaging or a component is absent.
Keeping condition and packaging unchanged
Before handover, keep the bottle upright, away from heat and direct light, at a stable room temperature; do not disturb the capsule, cork or closure; do not clean the label or replace the stopper; photograph any existing issue before moving it.
Use one overview to show how the accessories belong with Martell Napoleon, then keep the bottle, stopper, presentation box, certificate and purchase receipt together; match every accessory to its bottle before handover; avoid mixing parts from similar items.
