Condition

There is a visible repair to one corner of the square onyx base showing beige filler. There are scratches and minor chips to edges of onyx. The bronze is in its original gilded condition but has been cleaned and there are some green oxidation points in very few places. The scale is grand and impressive although the casting and chasing is not well defined.
