Very attractive detail to carving with some overall restoration, especially to the cresting and some minor sections chipped off. There are some minor hairline cracks generally commensurate with age and old minor chips to painted decoration and gilding. Some minor retouching to painting and gilding. Evidence of very minor worm, especially to cresting as visible from photograph, which appears no longer active. In overall good condition.
