Condition
Condition:
The surface patination is generally good. It would benefit from a professional clean as there are some very small paint spots and some ingrained dirt to the cast details. The black marble base is very scratched as a result from movement of the four points which support the bronze. There are also chips to this plinth base. This marble would be easy to replace or re-polish by a marble expert.
