More Information

Very heavy and solid. The three decanters marked STEPHENS to bases - no chips or cracks, minor wear to etched band of gilding (where tickets have rubbed against). No locking mechanism, just a slide catch fixing - in working order. Slight tarnish/wear to silver plating in some small areas. Minor losses to wood veneer, each end (see additional images). Generally good condition.
