PROBABLY AT LEAST A HUNDRED YEARS OLD OR BETTER. I DID A LITTLE RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT THIS WAS MADE BY A FRENCH ARTIST THOMAS FRANCOIS CARTIER. HE WAS BORN IN 1879 AND DIED IN 1943.

I DO NOT SEE ANY CRACKS OR PIECES BROKEN OFF. THE ONLY THING I SEE IS GREAT SURFACE AGE. THE MARBLE BASE HAS SOME DINGS IN IT BUT DOESN'T DETRACT FROM THIS PIECE. IF ANYONE HAS ANY SUGGESTIONS OUT THERE, I WOULD BE MORE THEN HAPPY TO HEAR FROM YOU. TO ALL OUR VALUED CUSTOMERS.
