Condition
One of the billiard balls appears to be missing, upper left. There are slight scratches throughout the paintwork on the carved wood. There is crazing to the purple area (top left). There are two pieces of carved wood that have been repaired, one to the jig (centre right) and another to what seems to be the chalk (lower right). There are a couple of fine hair-line cracks to the green semi circular wood (upper left). Otherwise, the work is in good condition.
