Condition

The ormolu bases screw into the marble plate, however one is unscrewed but can easily be re-attached. This does not affect the stability of the piece and even if left as is would still be very stable. With minor surface abrasions to the marble surface tops, and general traces of oxidation and some verdigris to the ormolu, which can be cleaned. Very attractive model. In othewise very good condition.
