Condition
Overall in very good condition. The patinated bronze surfaces throughout display a rich patina of russet brown and green. The bronze surfaces with some occasional light surface scratches, abrasions and light rubbing concentrated to the high points of the design consistent with age and gentle handling. The favrile glass which is blown through the bronze reticulations appears to be original and undisturbed, with some light surface soiling along the edges adjacent to the metalwork. With light surface soiling and evidence of wax residue to the interior of the candle cup consistent with age and use. A fine example of the model with an artistic scalloped base.
