Condition
**The monogram cartouche on both cellars has evidently been cut out from a different pair and set into these; both show worn relief on the surrounding cartouche, and the monogram of one has been partially obliterated. Otherwise, the pair are in good condition, with some surface wear, bumps and scuffs consistent with age.
