Condition Report: Having a heavy craquelure surface with evidence of overpaint (notable to left side edge,). Evidence of restoration of minor overpaint highlighted on sitter's feet and carpet design under chair. For high-resolution images, please visit www.dumoart.com as partner websites do not allow us to upload high-resolution images. It is our opinion that a decorator in the 1950's applied a coating over the original gold leaf frame and the applicator was sloppy going over left edge. Restoration under sitter's chair was a professional attempt to impaint and overpaint craqueleur.
