Félix Agostini

Galerie Jean-François Dubois, Paris
Acquired from the above by the present owner, 2000

Overall very good original condition. Each wall light is divided into two elements, the shade and the armature. The gilt surfaces with some occasional light surface scratches, light rubbing, and surface soiling to the recessed contours of the design consistent with age and gentle use. There are a few minor areas of oxidation to a few scattered recessed areas. The shades are in good condition with light surface dirt. A wonderful highly nuanced design by the artist.
