Description
A Pair of Italian Marble and Onyx Busts
20th Century
Height 29 x width 20 x depth 13 inches.
Condition
In overall fine and stable condition. Each with surface scratches to the onyx portions and with cracks and inclusions scattered throughout the marble—some likely natural to the material. Instances of roughness to the edges where marble has been abraised and worn away on each. The male figure has a crack and some flaking on his left cheeck and on the left base of his neck. Both with visible glue reside on the reverse where the busts are attached to the mounts. See attached images for further reference to condition.
