£80-120

Condition:
Doesn’t wobble on a flat surface. Numerous minor Knicks and surface scratches to the piece in general. There are a few small hole like dents around the top colour of the stick. It appears to be a small collar around the centre of the taper stick which could possibly be an old repair as it is a slightly different colour to the rest of the column? There is wax in places across the stick. Hallmarks clear however makers mark slightly harder to see. Possible repair to the underside of the base also. Weighs 103 grams.
