[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9606070, member: 2844"]Yes it is! Colder and less humid. It has probably been in the Netherlands for a few decades, but even shipping it inside the Netherlands could have been an issue. The way it was wrapped, not carefullly packed in a box, but literally wrapped in cardboard that was bent to adapt to the shape (!), can't have done it much good either. I will check it over the next week, if there are no more flakes the damage is stable, and the flakes I found were probably due to shipping conditions. I will display it under/behind glass though. My living room is north facing, and I have all-white shoji screens in front of the lower half of the windows, so little chance of direct sunlight anyway.[/QUOTE]
