There are a few chip losses to the pottery jardiniere on the figures at the sides and a large chip out of the side of the base, it looks as though there should be a flat level surface for the jardiniere to sit upon on the top of the stand but this is now missing, there is wear to the top of the stand consistent with age and use, there are numerous small splinter chips and glaze flakes to the lower third of the stand, otherwise in reasonable condition.
