Wear to patina, gilt and finish commensurate with age and light handling. Oxidation to metal throughout commensurate with age and handling. Dirt and grime in some crevices and would benefit from light professional cleaning. Small losses to base, particularly on corners, not particularly distracting. Visible scratches to finish on thighs of woman (see photos). Face with age lines (not fractures--stable) commensurate with age of material. No other signs of damage, loss or repair.
