Condition
Overall in reasonable condition with typical minor chips and scratches - notably to the base of one at its corner - commensurate with age. The gilt brass mounts around the centre of the body of the vase are loose and there is residue of the adhesive which as been used to keep them in place. The mounts are tarnishing slightly and rubbed in areas and would benefit from gentle cleaning according to taste. Very decorative nonetheless.
