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.
Overall in sound condition and ready to place. With typical rubbing, oxidation and tarnish to the gilt and lacquered bronze. Some areas with verdigris and darker tarnish. The malachite with natural inclusions and minor inherent cracking, some small 'nibbles' and scattered surface scratches. The base possibly previously used on a scientific instrument, and the casters possibly original.
