Condition
Illustration is slightly too dark. Very attractive set from a wider collection dedicated to Bagard items. The overall condition is good, boxes have been waxed. The only comment concerns 4 of the 6 larger caskets where the cover have traces of horizontal cracks (2 already filled in). Also some caskets and boxes possibly with small flat turned feet. Having said that fine and crispy carving with a wide range of items.
