03.17.25: In my opinion regarding LOT 3018: I note that the column stands sturdy and is securely mounted to the stone base, which has typical minor chipping to the edges, and some light scuffs commensurate with use, the ormolu retaining an overall uniform and rich tone, with light patination and spotting, and a sparse amount of minute pitting, close visual and UV light examinations do not reveal evidence of restoration, losses, or fractures to the ormolu, and the metal is currently free from observed dents/ dings or misshapen elements
