overall in very nice condition considering age; present really well, overall bright, with some minor persistent tarnish to recessed areas commensurate with age; with some occasional dings / mild surface scratches or surface imperfections, including a couple pinched areas and a slight surface crease (does not penetrate body) to one candlestick below upper base under column, other candlestick with subtle solder reinforcement to underside of one corner to gadrooned border
