9.30.24-In my opinion regarding LOT: 3137-The lamp is sturdy and overall intact, it was observed operating, Dore bronze exhibits some general light rubs, mellowing, a few spots of Verde patination, the figural group is free of apparent breaks or restoration, as created, the upper torso of one female figure lifts off (likely to accommodate wiring) it may be that this torso was attached with screws at one time, this is how it was made and not a loss, figural group is slightly loose on the base, this could likely be tightened, wood base shows light wear, overall no major loss observed, all mentioned commensurate with age and use
