Excellent, there is no damage, dents or marks to this piece. There is some tarnishing and polish residue in the crevices around the edge of the heart, but this is to be expected of a piece of this age and doesn't detract from the overall appeal / look. There are very minor surface marks which are commensurate with minor use and age. The embossed decoration is unrubbed and still sharp with no holes.
