*Condition*
Very good vintage pre-owned condition with age-related patina, tarnish, darkening, and surface wear throughout. Some areas show oxidation, finish loss, residue, and minor bending/wear to the delicate filigree work. The black scenic panels show visible surface wear and scratching. Closure/hardware is present but should be reviewed closely in photos due to the age and handmade-style construction. Please see all photos for details.
