Purchasing information-
The cruet stand and bottles all display general surface scratches, marks and wear commensurate with the age and use. Some light tarnishing to the silver. Remnants of polish are visible, also a seam line to the main stand. There is slight loss of detail to the decoration, and considerable loss to the foliate decoration on the central stem where there are also floods of solder, indicating possible repairs. Various surface nicks and rim and edge chips to the glass bottles, some larger than others. There is partial distortion and rubbing to some of the hallmarks but they are mainly legible. Some of the silver mounts are not struck with a date letter but they are all Victorian, Sheffield Assay and with same maker.
