Condition Report:
Significant damage to the claws of both. Losses to the gilding and paint throughout with multiple chips and knocks. One griffin with the top of the head missing, or possibly the complete head is a later addition. One wing has a fracture to the back and is therefore fragile; also with a large crack to the back. Various only delicate parts, chis, cracks etc all consistent with age.
