Condition

This work is in very good and sound condition overall. The two blades are separate from the stand support and move smoothly and freely. There are very faint, hairline surface abrasions throughout visible only upon close inspection. There are light surface abrasions and minor chipping to the marble base, but these are unobtrusive to the work.
