π¦ Condition:
Excellent antique condition - biggest flaw is some inconsistent sheen on the aged brass exterior finish. Appears as if a clear coating may have been applied at some point and it has worn off most areas but not all. In areas where the coating remains, there is a slight shine/gleam. This actually adds depth and beauty to the piece, and subtly enriches the yellow brass and accompanying patina. Some minor clear buildup on bottom of a couple lower wing indents and on the inside center of base. Minor wear and tear on the interior consistent with the original mounting
No major damage noted.
Please review all photos carefully as they are part of the description.
