CONDITION
Very good antique condition. Bale is original, all tiny half Pearls are original with no re-gluing. Panes of glass rattle as they need a photo etc to plump them out into frame. One pane of glass has a noticeable scratch sadly but this is harder to see once photo is inserted. Patina to gold, minor marks to gold. No repairs.
