Good overall condition. The gilt bronze is tarnished and presents with some instances of light oxidation with a few stains, as visible in the catalogue illustration. On one medallion, enamel has been added at a later time, not visually distracting. This lot is sold with its original liner, with two meshes. The lower mesh is completely unsoldered. The uppr mesh presents with a few tiny break and is partially unfixed, as partially visible in the catalogue illustration.
