Condition

Colours: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate. Condition: The work is in very good condition. There are a few light handling marks throughout and the patina at the top of the left rod could benefit from a light polish. There is a minor scuff mark and a few scattered very fine rub marks to the ball and a small rub mark to the gold patina on the left rod. There is a small spot of media loss beneath the ball where the paint has rubbed exposing the copper rod beneath and a further tiny spot of media loss. Upon close inspection there are several pin-head sized media accretions and small rub marks to the base.
