Condition
Overall in very good condition. The surfaces with minor isolated scattered scuffs, nicks and scratches concentrated to the lower edge of the base and proper right front edges. With minor surface soiling to the interior and recessed areas of the design, and some minor oxidation to the recessed areas concentrated to the rear seams. A superb example of Guimard’s ironwork with excellent provenance.
