Yves Badetz, Marc du Plantier, Paris, 2011, p. 281-282 and 284 (for a view of the fire iron in a rendering of Mr. and Mrs. Boulois' apartment, Paris and a drawing)
Condition
Overall very good condition. The metal surface scratches, minor edge abrasions, gentle rubbing, minor surface dirt and some traces of oxidation consistent with age and gentle use and visible in the catalogue illustration. The patina has a rich dark color with brown hues. A wonderful object that epitomizes the artist's aesthetic.
