Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration fails to fully convey the metallic quality of the golden paint.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. There is evidence of light wear to the extreme corner tips. Extremely close inspection reveals a small number of tiny and unobtrusive hairline cracks in a few isolated places. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra violet light.
