Condition Report:
Evidence of previous resotration - central column detached to reveal historic glue that has dried out; one inkwell has been re-attached not straight.
Small chips to the edges as expected due to age and use. Wear to the gilding particularly to the base. One inkwell cover has a knock to one corner.
