Condition

Good overall condition. The gilt bronze base presents with some light tarnishing overall and with a few slightly darker stains. The galvanised bronze corolla and mouse present with some humidity and oxidation stains, as partially visible on the catalogue illustration, and with some vert-de-gris traces, including a larger one on the front of the corolla (on approximately 4,5 cm), partially visible on the catalogue illustration. The corolla presents with a few tiny cracks, inherent to the making. The corolla is slightly moving.
