Great original antique condition. Nicely aged patina over the whole adds to the overall elegant warmth and rich depth. Very strong and sturdy, gently used, having light wear consistent with age and indicative of minimal use. Presents superbly.

A superb example, delivered lightly cleaned, waxed, retaining original antique character marks throughout, ready for immediate use, and many, many more years of enjoyment. less
