The salvers rest slightly uneven on the feet. The engraving is quite rubbed in places, especially around the rims although the armorials still retain some definition of detail. The rim to one has compression creasing above two diagonally opposed feet. The other has noticeable creases to the rim at the three and nine o’clock position along with a smaller compression creases above three feet. General finger marks and tarnishing throughout commensurate with age and handling. Hallmarks clear and legible.
