Provenance
Joan Guaita Art, Spain Condition The upper section of the piece has the shape of a palm tree. The metal "leaves" are bent most likely in its original fashion. However, these can bend easily so it must be handled carefully. There are some areas of oxidation in the bottom section (oar) of the sculpture which could be inherent to the patina. Overall, this work appears to be in excellent condition. In response to your inquiry, we are pleased to provide you with a general report of the condition of the property described above. Since we are not professional conservators or restorers, we urge you to consult with a restorer or conservator of your choice who will be better able to provide a detailed, professional report.
