Condition
The illustration of the catalogue is accurate but the quality of the carving is more impressive in reality. There are the inevitable dents, marks and scratches due to age and use. There are chips and rubbed areas to the gilding, but the gilding still has two original different tones of gold. There is one crack to the front, around the central vertical laurel leaves garland. Very elegant console.
