Condition Report
The pair of servers appear in fairly good condition overall. They display some general surface scratches, marks and wear commensurate with the age and use. There is some light tarnishing, especially to the silver ferrules. The decoration still appears fairly crisp and bright. There is a little bit more wear around the edges, however the fork prongs and tip of the blade appear to have faired quite well. Hallmarks are legible. Wear and deterioration to the case.
