Condition report
A Christie's specialist may contact you to discuss this lot or to notify you if the condition changes prior to the sale.
The condition of lots can vary widely and the nature of the lots sold means that they are unlikely to be in a perfect condition. Lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale.
This report was prepared by Steve Tatti, S.A.T. Inc.:
Good condition. The surface is dirty and the current wax coating has oxidized, creating a whitish haze over the surface. Minor wear to the patina in some areas of high relief. The bronze relief is mounted in each corner to its frame, and the bronze is slightly bowed along the left upper edge. The appearance would improve with cleaning.
