Condition
The illustration is accurate, good overall condition despite the inevitable dents, scratches and marks due to the age and use.
As visible on the illustration a finial is missing on the left hand side, it was located in front of the lion head, the width can be adapted. It was displayed with a small width and when it is enlarged at the maximum the gilding which was protected is fresher than the rest which is tarnished
