Purchasing information-
The blotter displays general surface scratches, marks and wear commensurate with the age and use, and some light tarnishing to the silver mounts. There is a vertical split in the wood, although it was possibly made in two panels as the split is very uniform? The silver mounts are lifting slightly in some places. There are some surface dints and bumps but generally they appear in fairly good condition and the hallmarks are clear and legible.
