The illustration of the catalogue is accurate. The ormolu elements: the gilding is slightly rubbed and tarnished. Three ormolu elements of the fluted columns are missing and two need to be refixed. An ormoulu lion mask needs to be refixed. The marbles: there are some chips and stains to the white marble base. Beautiful architectural elements which would benefit from a gentle cleaning.
