Condition

Overall in very good condition. The metal surfaces throughout with very minor scattered scuffs and scratches and a few very shallow indentations, consistent with age and gentle handling. The upper rims of the tallest middle vases with two and one extremely minor indentations to the edges, respectively. The base of the middle vase sits unevenly. A chic set that is highly representative of mid-century Italian style, which can also alternatively be used as candleholders.
