Please examine the photos carefully, as they are part of the description. There is visible wear to the gilt trim and some age-related discoloration, scuffs, spotting, and surface wear. The raised enamel/moriage decoration has normal irregularities and wear associated with its age and handmade decorative style.
The interior and underside show age-related marks/soiling. I did not identify any obvious major cracks or repairs from the photographs, but please inspect the images closely and message me with any questions before purchase.
