Condition Report
Overall the centre piece appears in good overall condition. There is noticeable tarnishing particularly in the crevices of the foliage. Parts of the detailing to snake is rubbed. The piece wobbles very slightly on the table. The piece is very heavy but hollow in the centre. There are some nicks and pit marks to the metal but some of these are likely to be as made. The Victorian registration mark is rubbed and two corners are not easily readable, the makers marks are rubbed but just legible.
