Condition

Good overall condition. The parchment presents with a few minute tears, a few minute uplifting and a few cracks. There are some previous restorations, including a few heavy-handed ones. There are scattered tiny previous woodworms holes, more numerous on the proper right side. The parchment presents with some stains and instances of discolorations, inherent to the aging process of this material. The brass and copper present with some very light surface scratches and some instances of wear, consistent with age and use. The wood has been re-varnished and presents with the usual tiny dents and with previous woodworms holes (some of them previously filled on the proper right side)
