POSSIBLY FRENCH, SECOND HALF 19TH CENTURY

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.

In sound condition and ready to place. The bronze with typical rubbing, light surface wear, oxidation and tarnish. With some loss to the patina revealing gold ground. Some slight surface dirt build up in crevices. The bases previously drilled as lamp bases, now with a plugged hole. The busts probably associated. The rouge marble columns with natural inclusions, nicks and some shallow chipped losses. Each column with several scattered repairs, associated infill and glue residue, and with some subsequent small losses.
