Overall in very good original condition. The pewter surfaces with a few shallow surface scratches consistent with age and gentle use. The recessed areas of the design with minor surface soiling. The removable bobeches are original; one candelabrum is lacking a bobeche, as visible in the catalogue illustration. A whimsical motif from the turn of the 20th Century.
