Rather variable. Some would say it's beautiful, some would probably barf at the sight of it. I feel it may have been commissioned by an Arab till the Recession hit him, and thus it may have remained unsold.
Anyway, Mr. Clode took off with many of the really good ones from India. He even visited us thrice since we have two Westley Richards in the family. Fortunately, they never went to him.

Justice alone is the mainstay of government and the source of prosperity to the governed, injustice is the most pernicious of things; it saps the foundations of the government and brings ruin upon the realm - Sher Shah Sur, Sultan-ul-Adil.

It was commissioned by Westley-Richards themselves - with the Arab market in mind - but sold to an English gent. It was then sold back to Westley-Richards upon his death.
