Condition
Overall the condition of the bronze is very good with minor dirt and wear to the surface consistent with age. The group is cast in sections and there are original screws visible below the cushion at the elephant's sides. There is a small casting flaw underneath the proper right tusk and a space for an insert/ mount under the left back leg. The lid unscrews and there are contours in the glass consistent with material. The lamp is operational.
