Generally good overall condition. Some minor rubbing and pitting to the gilt surface as expected from age and light use. There is an attractive blueish patina to the blooms which surround the bobeche which is not overtly apparent in the catalogue illustration. Some minor wax residue as expected. An attractive example of this rare model.
