Condition
The mahogany top is beautifully figured with a wonderful 'flame' pattern, As urn stands go this is of superior quality. Condition is generally very good although the top has a little fading from exposure to sunlight and the grain has some natural movement which has resulted in some very old dark lines to the grain. The piece is very slightly unsteady on its feet.
