Alexandre Noll-Meubles et Objets, Galerie La Pyramide, Paris, September-October 1947

Overall very good original condition consistent with age. With natural age cracks to the wood as expected. Scattered abraded areas with some losses, which reveal a lighter wood color. One edge of the top of the sculpture with a larger abraded area and possible minor loss of wood. With surface scratches, nicks, dings and chips throughout, which have added a character to the piece. The sculpture can be detached from the base. The largest Noll sculpture to ever appear on the market.
