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 marble figure is in overall very good condition.
With a few surface marks, predominantly to the reverse.
There are few miniscule chips to the edges, such as to the fringe of the girl's ribbon to the side of her dress and to the integral base.
There are very well restored small breaks to the tip of the umbrella handle and to the girl's proper right little finger. One group of flower buds to the proper right side restored.
The pedestals in three sections. The top with several restored breaks with some associated over-spray. The top of the column with a gold sticker marked 'BAZAR FLORIDA/ [?] MAYO 62[5?]...'. There are few 'nibbled' chips to the edges. The base section with minor areas of restoration to the corners and top edge, as to be expected with age and handling.
The pedestal wobbles very slightly and could benefit from being further secured.
Weight: 170kg (statue and pedestal together)
