Condition

Illustration is quite accurate. As said in the catalogue, it has been stripped-out. The woodworm damages throughout are visible on the image (some chips in places). The fine carving would benefit from being relacquered. Beautiful marble top with a very nice color (has been restored). Very large model, perfectly suitable for a castle or a country house. (Former collection of Martine de Behague at Fleury-en-Bière castle)
