Condition

This white marble chimney piece has been made during the second half of 19th century (Napoleon III). The top shows expected small chips and dents on edges and surface, and some cratches. It has been consolidated and restorated. The top shows two small cracks on the sides. The lintel and the feet show unavoilable small chips on edges and a tiny ornament is missing (in the middle of the lintel, mask top). The sides of this chimney piece are in a good condition. Despite expected accidents shown above, this Napoleon III chimney piece is in a good overall condition and in a good quality (marble and ornaments). Please note that handling charges for this lot are 200 € + VAT. These charges do not include packing or shipping. Others illustrations are available on www.sothebys.com and on request.
