Description
- Hervé van der Straeten
- Pair of Coupe Racine
- 2000s
- bronze and patinated brass
- each: 22 cm., 8 1/2 in. high; 31 cm., 12 in. diameter
Condition
Both coups in generally good condition with minor wear to patination throughout. One coupe with some dirt and surface residue on the interior. Additionally, 1 leg is missing, but it does not affect the stability of the work. The second coupe with a minor, gummy material at the central point of the interior of the bowl. One coupe appears just a tad (1 cm.) shorter and this could be due to the orientation of the legs, however it's not visually distracting.
