A 19th Century silver plated bronze figure of a nude woman in the Classical taste with screw fixing to her heel from previous mount 32 cm long excluding screw CONDITION REPORTS In answer to the question how do we know it's silver plated, mainly based on the fact there is a white metal thin covering to the bronze, very worn and discoloured in several areas.
