Condition
The illustration of the catalogue is accurate. Good overall condition despite the inevitable minor scratches and marks due to age and use.
The gilding has been refreshed and it is slightly chipped on exposed areas. The little mirror plaques at the bottom and at the top are missing. The rest of the mirror plaques are slightly foxed as visible on the illustration.
Very elegant model.
