Condition Report
These wax profiles were probably made in Birmingham in the 1920s - the discoloured wax (the faces are almost black) is deliberate in order to achive an "aged" effect. In terms of condition, they are as good as one can expect for deliberately aged items. the polychrome is in fair condition. Originally these would have had matched frames, but the frames were always varied, so whilst a complete set, it's comprised from three different sets.
