Condition

A piece in good conserved condition. The frame has been re-gilt with a distressed effect and therefore some of the underlying bole is showing; some areas of the original gilding remain. Secure construction cracks overall. There is a repaired breakage to the cresting. The bottom left scroll has a repair with visible traces of varnish in need of some attention.
