Condition

Illustration is too bright. As to be expected, the rich bronze ornementation is tarnished and rubbed. Restoration to one wing of each pietra dura bird on the central panel. Scattered chips to the ebonised top and one crack to the right corner of the plinth which needs attention. Imposing look, large and rich model for conservative estimates, which would benefit from a slight restoration.
