Overall you don’t really notice the damage, because they are so impressive. The rouge marble has some wonderful colours & lovely patterns. There are gilt bronze mounts at the tops & base, with are floral in design & beautifully detailed. The gilt bronze handles are wonderful & in the form of snakes. Please check the height, because they are probably higher than you imagine. I can just about lift one of these up on my own.
