CONDITIONGenerally good vintage condition.CONDITION
DETAILSThere is some minor scuffing to the surface of the pepper and two small scratched areas, one on the crosspiece and the other at the top of one of the uprights. There is a little play in the joints between the two uprights & the crosspiece, although they are both still securely attached, and there is some minor wear to the raised areas of the designs around the feet. There should be a small rectangular tablet to the middle of one side of the gate, but this is missing and there are two very small discoloured patches where it was previously attached.The cover on the pepper refill hole on the underside of one of the feet is present, and is in good working order. There is a little dried polish residue in some of the grooves & crevices of the piece, and it would probably benefit from polishing.DELIVERYThis item will be sent within one working day of receiving cleared payment.POSTAGEUK postage by Royal Mail First Class Recorded is included in the item price.
