This piece is in good antique condition. Random small scratches but no major dents or defects. It has not been polished in recent times. I will leave it up to the collector of this piece as to whether to polish it or not. Some prefer Kayserzinn polished, while others choose to leave the aged patina. It is a gorgeous piece either way.
