Condition

Overall in good condition. When viewed in person the marble surface is more nuanced and has slightly more tone than in the catalogue illustration. The marble top with few minutes chips to lower edge and with a few minor scratches to the surface, with associated dirt, consistent with age and gentle use. The circular edge with a light surface abrasion along approximately 14 inches, only visible upon close inspection. The bronze base with light surface scratches, minor points of pitting and minor oxidation consistent with age and gentle used concentrated to the lower portion and lower edge of the base. The circular bronze late supporting the marble with drilled holes and minor old tape residue. A beautiful example of the model with a great presence when viewed in person.
