Condition

Overall very good condition. The patinated bronze surfaces display a rich brown patina, with some scattered minor surface scratches and abrasions, and with some minor rubbing to the patina consistent with age and gentle use. The glass with some scattered minor air bubbles and particulate inclusions inherent in the making and not visually detractive. The underside of the paperweight has been applied with fabric and felt glides. A very attractive example of the model displaying a complex and artistic glass selection.
