The urn is a good example of type and in good country house condition.

There is wear to the finial, general chips and knocks to the veneers throughout including a small section of missing veneer to the square base. All wear is consistent with age and use.

The apparently original interior is in overall good condition and the mechanism fully functioning. No key present.
