The condition of lots can vary widely and the nature of the lots sold means that they are unlikely to be in a perfect condition. Lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale.
The richly carved and lifelike figure with a warm tone to the gilding. Overall with some age and construction cracks as expected. The giltwood figure with several splits and cracks, most notably to his left leg, starting in the plinth base and running upwards to his sternum; would benefit from some stabilization. The giltwood surface with some rubbing and scattered abrasions and losses revealing bole and gesso beneath in areas. The marble top with some very minor 'nibbling' to edges. Presents well, a beautiful example.
