Condition
Very good overall condition
Some slight wear to the gilding on the lower part of the dress. Very nicely carved and ciseled with great shades of colors to the dress. A few traces of dirt and a few minor cracks to the ivory, all consistent with normal age and use. A few minor chips to the edges of the base. The lower back part of the base broken in three parts has been re-glued and the front lower part as well at its right part.
