Condition
Overall in very good condition. The metal surface with some light surface scratches to the standard and figure decoration. The high points of the design with minor rubbing to the patina consistent with gentle use. The figure decoration and interior of the loops comprising the base present with some light traces of oxidation consistent with age. The recessed contours of the design with scattered surface dirt. The sockets and switches appear to be untouched. The lamp is fitted with a custom later fabric shade. This lamp is electrically stable and fitted with a standard US plug. A wonderfully sculptural form depicting a dynamic stylized pose of a cymbal player in motion.
