Condition
Overall very good condition. The sculpture throughout presents with a rich patination. There is evidence of the surface dirt to recessed portions of the design, consistent with the age. With a few minor areas of rubbing and very small and minor surface scratches. A wonderful scaled example of the artistÂ’s table top sculptures. This work is highly detailed and magnificent shape when viewed in person.
