Termes en noyer sculpté, travail du nord de l'Europe du XVIIIe siècle

figurant un homme et une femme à mi-corps supportés par des gaines à décor de rinceaux

The illustration is accurate. Good overall condition despite the inevitable scratches and marks throughout. Very nice warm patina to the wood. Each arm of the male figure has been restored. There is a loss at the back of the male head and the hand on this head is missing. Two small losses to the drapery of the male figure and on the female one. A few minor vertical shrinkage cracks on both bodies. Both figures have been applied on later wooden panels which have a nice patina. A few minor chips and losses on these panels. Very nice warm patina overall.
