Description

  • 33cm. high; 1ft. 1in.
of baluster form and on stepped circular bases

Condition

Decorative. There is a loss to the raised edge of each rim. Each drip tray has a circular plate riveted to its interior - these have great age and do not detract to the overall feel of these pieces. The rivets are visible on the exterior. There are old prangs to each, typical wear and dents. The base of one is mis-shapen. All of this old wear is consistent with the age of this attractive pair.
