Condition Report:
This antique Edwardian mahogany purdonium / coal scuttle is in excellent original condition, which is commensurate with its age. Nominal old use marks to the leading edges and interior, but nothing significant considering the age of the item. There is no missing inlay and purdonium retains the origin tin bin. The purdonium has been cleaned and French polished, by hand, to a professional standard, therefore the colour and patination is of an excellent standard. This item is well constructed, solid in joint and ready to use.
