Condition

Notes

Remarks: During Winter Cleaning 2013, one stem of the floral motif of this tie-back was found to be loose and has been removed from the rest of the object to prevent further damage to either part; it appears that the solder has given way at the back of the scrolling leaf motif; neither part is damaged, but a repair is needed.
