The colours are beautiful, this is distressed and has acquired a wonderful patina. Apart from the various small scrapes and marks to the paint here and there, this is structurally sound and free from major damage, breaks or repairs. I think all the white bits could be easily coloured in & disguised by someone with a little know how.

Width – 7 inches, 18 cm
