Condition

The illustration of the catalogue is accurate but as stated in the catalogue there are 8 wooden tea caddies and not 7, with a ninth metal tea caddy. Good overall condition. There are the inevitable minor dents, marks and scratches due to age and use. There are some lifting, losses and cracks to some inside metal lining. One upper finial is missing. Rare set.
