Condition

The illustration of the catalogue is accurate. Good overall condition despite the inevitable minor scratches and marks throughout due to age and handling. The ormolu freize of the upper rim of a vase is loose. There is a small restoration to the marble on the upper rim of the same vase and another one on the stem of the other vase. Very nice chasing.
