Condition and Details of Restoration
This item is in original structural condition and is completely sound. It has retained its original colour and patina, and the characterful old marks under the polish that might be expected on an item of this age and authenticity. In our opinion, the photographs are representative. There are some minor repairs required to some of the mouldings etc., which will be discussed with the client and undertaken prior to delivery.
