Condition

Illustration is accurate. Good overall condition. As stated in the catalogue description, the gilding, the white patina and the marble top are later. As visible on the illustration, there is a small loss to the central front shell. There are some minor chips to the patina. The carving is really nice with impressive details. Nice model to recommend.
