1.1.24-In my opinion regarding: 

LOT – 1407- I am not an expert on such bronzes, please find your requested images attached, and let me know should you have further questions, the pair appear to stand sturdy however, both have one or more feet not attached to base, both display some overall patination, evidence of outdoor use, some oxidation at screws/attachments, pitting, rubs, and wear and variation to patina one with a copper tone showing on the right side, there are no apparent breaks or major losses to metal
