Condition

Overall in very good condition. The hand-wrought copper surfaces retain their original patina, and show some occasional light surface scratches, gentle rubbing and a few scattered small areas of surface soiling consistent with age and very gentle use. A beautiful example of the model displaying a rich brown patina heightened in deep shades of red.
