Condition
Illustration is accurate despite slightly too red. Good overall condition.
Nice gilt-lead mounts. They are not in bronze as usual. The gilding is slightly rubbed on exposed areas. A small pearl frieze is loose on the base and can be easily refixed. A few minute shrinkage cracks on the fall front door and on both sides. The key of the inner door on the lower part is missing.
