Condition

Period frame. Retains much of its original varnish over critical areas and there are no signs of overpaint when viewed under natural and UV light. | Please note all lots show signs of wear commensurate with age and use, and the lack of a statement regarding condition does not imply the lot is in perfect condition or completely free from defects or the effects of aging.
