Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the black photographs tend more towards a dark navy in the original. The work has been re-wired and therefore the wires appear slightly thicker with a small visible black box hanging in the centre of the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition and in full working order. There are spots of oxidation in places to some of the metal frames and to some of the brass light sockets.
