Condition
Good overall condition.
Light handling wear to the patina, not visually distractive. On the reverse, along the element resting on the stand, a few minute scuffs with lacks of patina, resulting from the contact with the stand. The lot is sold with its stand which presents with light oxidation with a small vert-de-gris spot.
