Condition
Good overall condition. The rigitulle presents with a few very minute chips of paint, not visually distractive and some larger ones along the upper and lower rim, not visible when the ceiling light is set . The top presents with some scratches and scuffs with losses of paint, consistent with age and use. The bottom element in lacquered metal has most likely been repainted at a later date. Sotheby's does not guarantee electrical components and suggests having all wiring inspected by a licensed electrician.
