Condition
Overall in very good condition. This is an assembled set and therefore the patinas and glass selection vary slightly in each piece. The current offering is a particularly well matched assembled set. The bronze surfaces show gentle rubbing and light surface soiling in some of the recessed contours consistent with age and use. With some concentrated minor areas of surface discoloration consistent with gentle use. The paper surface of the blotter with minor edge fraying and scattered surface discolorations. With minor rubbing to the raised outer edge of the pen tray consistent with use. A rare large offering of desk set objects in the Byzantine pattern.
