Condition
The illustration is accurate. There are the usual minor chips and marks to gilding and the paint revealing white gesso underneath. Most of the arms and the legs have been restored on the female figures. Three fingers are missing on one hand and one is missing on another one. Both central foliage stems and both draperies have been restored too. The paint and the gilding have been refreshed especially on these restorations. There is the usual wear on both top with a charming aspect. There is a hole on each top due to the fixing of a candelabrum ( lot 223).Very attractive and refined model.
