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.
Good overall condition.
There are the inevitable surface scratches, cracks and chips consistent with age and handling.
Some refreshments to the patina.
Some drips to the belly of the bull.
Some restorations to the tail and two legs.
A break to an old restoration with a visible crack to the right back leg of the bull. As stated in the saleroom notice, Christie's will restore the crack at its expense right after the sale.
Very nice group and highly decorative.
