Overall in decorative condition and ready to place. With typical light scattered nicks, faint marks and surface scratches. With natural inclusions to the stone. The slate with scattered small nick and 'nibbles' to edges, particularly along the base, and with some small losses to the corners. With some small losses to the point of each obelisk, one example with slightly larger loss less than 1/4 inch. One base with some further surface wear likely as a result of moisture and polish, consistent with age.
