Each overall good condition with minor scuffs and darkening/oxidation to the metal commensurate with age. The gilt paint applied all-over each figure appears to be later added as the original leaf gilding and underlying bole layer are evident on the underside of each figure's shoes. Similarly, there are losses to the gilt painted surface throughout each figure. As well, there are losses to each figure, primarily concentrated in the area of the feet. Condition reports are offered as a courtesy and are typically published in Moran's catalogue or can be made available upon request. The absence of a condition report does not imply that an item is free from defects or restoration, nor does a reference to particular defects imply the absence of others. Buyers are responsible for determining to their own satisfaction the true nature and condition of any lot prior to bidding. Though buyers are not legally required to inspect lots prior to purchase, failure to do so may constitute a waiver of complaint that an item was not delivered in a condition equal to the existent condition at the auction.
