Condition
A large and strilking piece of good overall condition. Minor old marks and scratches in places consistent with age and use. Not tested or guaranteed for electricity. The piece operates by using counterbalance weights and adjustable arms, which are secured by allen key bolts. The securing bolts are worn meaning that the piece is currently unstable and new bolts would allow it to be fixed in position more effectively. An impressive piece which would benefit from some attention.
