Condition Report
Overall condition fair. There are scratches to the albertina in keeping with the age of the piece. The central scroll engraved panel once possibly slid along the chains however it is now fixed and appears to have been soldered to one of the chains. The albertina appears to have been out together from various different pieces of a similar period. The clasp appears a little loose. There is discolouration to the fish and the tail appears quite bent, the tassel is in good condition. There is some wear to the heart terminals, the scroll embossed detail to the sides has worn away.
