Illustration is quite accurate As expected, some flowers replaced and chips to some flowers The Arlequin figure needs to be fixed properly to the base An old restoration to the tail of the goat. The end of the mandolina possibly restored Tiny cast faults on the base Gilding has been carefully cleaned up and possibly slightly retouched. Expected wear on the more exposed areas. Very attractive object in good overall condition.
