Condition
Overall excellent condition. Please note the measurements of this piece as it is a large scale work. The dandelion is comprised of beautifully patinated brass elements, which vary slightly in length which is inherent in the design. The piece is dynamic in person and one of the best examples of the form offered in these rooms.
