Please see all the photos for more details (ZOOM IN) and feel free to ask any questions that aren't answered here. Antique items have been previously owned and loved, and will show some level of wear consistent with this prior use. This piece has a wonderful aged patina, with traces of rust and oxidation. There are some light scratches, dings and wear from years of use, as shown in the photos. These small things do not detract from the piece. If I have missed something in my inspection of the piece, please contact me.
