[QUOTE="robinjojo, post: 6749800, member: 110226"]Nice antiquity, Donna. As far as the green spots are concerned, keep an eye on them. If they are active (powdery and growing), then the area or areas need treatment to neutralize the process. If the seller is willing to take it back for treatment, that's what you should do, since the treating will be done, I assume by a professional restorer. Overall the object seems to have a very nice patina, so once the BD is dealt with, those treated areas should blend in over time. Bronze disease is especially active where there's a lot of humidity, so you might consider keeping the object in a dry environment.[/QUOTE]
