Sturdy, well-conserved condition with very little if any loosness in the joints. Good, even color and moderately polished patina; older surface but probably not original finish. There is a probable repair to the proper right front leg's paw foot. The leather is a dove-gray color with brass nail heads.

Provenance:
Acquired as part of an eleven-piece suite from Binoche Renaud-Giquello & Associés, Hôtel Drouot, Paris, 4 June 2010, Lot 204
