Condition
Overall in very good condition. The bronze throughout with a rich green patina that is shown accurately in the catalogue illustration. The patinated surfaces with minor rubbing to the high points and some light surface dirt scattered throughout. The leather seat is likely later and presents with light surface scratches and some minor discolorations as seen in the catalogue illustrations. A charming stool, emblematic of the artist's decorative pieces of furniture.
