Condition
Very good overall condition. Some arms with slight bending as seen in the catalogue illustration which would benefit from slight adjustments. Some light surfaces scratches and nicks as expected. There is candle wax and polish residue as expected from age and normal use. The lot contains 8 of the original 12 bobeche liners which are not pictured in the catalogue illustration. The prong to the middle candle support is slightly bent from use.
