Condition

The illustration of the catalogue is accurate. There are the inevitable dents, marks and scratches due to age and use. There are some chips to the porcelain flowers with minor replacements. The metal work is peeling off to some place. Three leaves are missing to both wall-lights. There are some traces of rust. The pair of wall-light would benefit from a gentle cleaning.
