Condition
The photograph is quite accurate. As expected with this kind of piece, there are several chips along the edges of the marble elements and small restorations in places. The lead group with some wear to the gilding, a few inevitable dents and a crack under the wing. Needs to be installed with the help of a professional. Spectacular piece in good overall condition, consistent with age and use.
