Condition
Unrestored and in original condition.
Traces of gilding to the bronze mounts which are now slightly mat bronze color as visible in the catalogue on p. 113. A number of glass drops missing and a couple broken. The strict green glass pannels in good condition but slightly less vivid than on the catalogue's'image.
Neverless large and impressive.
Non restauré et en état d'origine.
Des traces de dorure aux montures en bronze, de couleur bronze mat, comme visible au catalogue p. 113. Quelques baguettes manquantes et deux manquantes. Les trois panneaux, entièrement en vase vert, en bon état mais légèrement moins vif qu'au catalogue.
Néanmoins grand et impressionnant.
