The assembled garniture is overall in good order,, has been well preserved, and is ready to place. Some marks, scratches, natural inclusions, and nibbles to the edges of the stones throughout as one might expect. Each also with restorations, infill, and signs of old well-disguised repairs commensurate with age.
One of the urns from the pair with a later replaced knop. Both urns with signs of old and well-matched repairs to the socles.
Both obelisks with cracks and repaired breaks to thin upper black marble plinths, visible in catalogue photos. The stone bodies of the obelisks with infilled cracks and one with well-disguised sign of old repair to body and possibly to tip.
The light color of the central mounted urn suggests it could be an earlier 18th century blue john urn that was later embellished with mounts.
