Condition

The illustration is accurate. Good overall condition despite the inevitable minor scratches and marks throughout due to age and use. As visible on the illustration, there is a small restoration to the lower moulding of a stem. As visible too, there is a vertical shrinkage crack to the other stem. A minor fire trace on the upper moulding of a dripped pan. Very nice carving.
