Condition

Good overall condition. The gilt bronze presents with some light tarnishing and with a few rare instances of oxidation with a few slightly darker oxidation stains, not visually distracting. The galvanised bronze presents with some small oxidation stains and with some instances of oxidation, concentrated to the butterfly wings and the smaller leaves. There are a few tiny cracks to the galvanised bronze elements, original to the making. A few rare wax remnants. All consistent with age and use.
