Condition: Overall in great condition with beautifully aged warm rich luminous patina. Wear consistent with over 200 years of age and use, including scattered nicks, minor losses, and evidence of old fill, all expected given its age, nothing that detracts from the display or functionality but only adds to the overall authenticity, antique character, elegant warmth and rich historical charm. Delivered cleaned, waxed, with hand rubbed polished French patina finish, ready for immediate use and generational enjoyment! History: In the early United States, the founding generation consciously chose to associate the nation with the ancient democracies of Greece and the republican values of Rome. Grecian aspirations informed the Greek Revival, lasting into the 1850s. Using Roman architectural vocabulary, the Federal style applied to the balanced and symmetrical version of Georgian architecture that had been practiced in the American colonies' new motifs of neoclassical architecture as it was epitomized in Britain by Robert Adam, who published his designs in 1792
