Condition Report
The silver stand and silver mounts to glass bottles all display some tarnishing, general wear and surface marks and scratches. Various minor nicks and pin prick marks to the stand and also some surface dints. An impression from one of the feet is also visible. Floods of solder visible to the underside, around the joins of the feet. Hinged covers to bottles are in working order, although one of the hinges is now quite loose and appears to have a replacement pin. The bottle mounts are all hallmarked, there is some slight distortion but marks are mainly legible. Glass displays some minor edge and rim nicks.
