Condition

This work is in very good and sound condition overall. There are some very faint surface scratches to the glass case and some spots of visible glue residue, such as at the right lateral edge and at some of the joins of the metal. All the stones appear intact on the pages and any inconsistencies in texture to the edges of the book sheets are intentional and inherent to the artist's working method.

Since we are not professional conservators or restorers, we urge you to consult with a restorer or conservator of your choice who will be better able to provide a detailed, professional report. Prospective buyers should inspect each lot to satisfy themselves as to condition and must understand that any statement made by Sotheby's is merely a subjective qualified opinion.
