Overall the condition of the figures is good. There is dirt and wear to the surfaces consistent with age, including a few chips and scratches. There are a number of larger chips to the edges and corners of the bases of Athena, Juno and Paris. A small section of stucco to the left side of Venus' base is reattached. There are losses to old stable but loose restorations at the top of Athena's staff and the tip of Juno's baton. Juno's peacock's head and Paris' proper right arm are reattached and are stable but loose. The stem of Paris' apple is reattached. There is wear to the patinated surfaces throughout, with particular wear to the tops of the bases.
