Condition
Illustration is accurate. Good overall condition. A few minor brass filets are lifting. The tortoiseshell veneer is in good condition even if there are some minor losses, thin cracks or liftings. The gilding of the mounts is slightly tarnished. The movement of the barometer is not working and has to be restored if necessary. Nice quality, would benefit from a slight restoration.
