Condition

In overall very good original condition. The panels are in very good condition are slightly dirty and would benefit from a light clean according to taste. There is a very minor chip to the top right corner of one but this is partially hidden by the frame and is hardly noticeable. Some very minor chips to the frames and to the gilding which has been touched up in places with gilt paint. The detail to the panels is very good. The one with the Moor has some surface scratches especially in the sky area but these are not too noticeable.
