Condition
Overall good condition consistent with age. The metal surfaces with some light surface scratches, minor rubbing and minor surface soiling to the interior elements of the base, consistent with age and gentle handling. All rods appear straight in very good condition. The base with a few small areas of discoloration and spotty oxidation. A lovely example of the sonambient form with slender cattails and dense rods.
