Estimate $1,200-1,800

Wax lined onto a rigid support. Several surface abrasions, the most noticeable located lower center measuring 4 inches across, and extending down 3 inches on one side and 2 inches onthe other.. It appears that the abrasions are mainly to the varnish layer, but this would need to be evaluated by a conservator. Stable craquelure overall.
