Condition Report
The biscuit barrel appears in good overall condition, displaying some general surface wear, marks and scratches and some tarnishing to silver mounts. The screw holding the rope finial in place is original, however it is quite loose so some tightening is required. Swing handle appears in good working order. Hallmarked to all parts and mostly clear and legible. A few minor nibbles to glass.
