Geoff it has taken 35 years to get one of these off my wish list  Grin

Bit nibbled around the edges but the gilding is amazing for its age

Lovely find - high on the wish list!

The only other member who has found a vaguely similar one is James if I remember rightly. His was more like the chip carved face design variant..

Congratulations
