Please see all the photos for further clarification on condition and feel free to ask any questions that aren't answered here. This holder has been previously owned and loved, and will show some level of wear consistent with this prior use. The wood has natural wear and the lid does not sit perfectly flush, as shown in the photos. The lion has different grades of coloration, which speaks to the age of the piece and adds to his striking presence. Please note that colors of products shown may vary slightly due to monitor display settings or photography studio lighting. The photos serve as an additional description.
