Condition

Very good overall condition. The patinated bronze surfaces display a deep and rich black and subtle brown patina. The patinated surfaces with some occasional light surface scratches, light rubbing to the edges and surface soiling to the recessed contours of the design consistent with age and gentle use. A very charming piece and wonderful small scale example of Diego Giacometti's work.
