Condition

Overall the condition of the bronzes is good, with dirt and wear to the surface consistent with age. There are a few minor stable casting fissures, including to both ankles of the boxer in the defensive pose. There is wear to the patina consistent with placement in a damp environment, as a result there is some dryness and white-ish residue, and some greening in areas. There are minor nicks and scratches to the surface. The marble bases are in good condition, with some chips and abrasions to the edges and corners, including a larger chip to the corner of one of the bases. Both bronzes are signed: ABouraine and one is stamped: A. G. Paris.
