Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is warmer and brighter in the original.
Condition: This work is in very good condition and in full working order. On close examination, there are a few short rub marks and scratches to the white metal support, notably to the left and right edges and bottom of the top rectangular element. There is a fine line of tarnishing at the centre of the right edge, where the two pieces of metal meet. There are two small places where the metal is very slightly warped; at the upper centre of the left edge and at the lower centre of the right edge. There are two tiny chips to the metal at the base of the support.
