The illustration of the catalogue is accurate despite a little too bright. Good overall condition despite the inevitable scratches and marks due to age, use and handling. As visible on the illustration, there are some chips and some wear to the paint, especially on the feet. A few chips on a medallion of a freize. There is a few minor restorations to the carving. A few minor and old traces of woodworm. Both constructions are firm and sound. The upholstery is in good condition despite a small stain. Highly decorative model.
