Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality of the light is much brighter and more vibrant in the original. The catalogue illustration fails to fully convey the three-dimensionality of the work, the metallic elements and the reflective filter discs apparent in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. There is a layer of light surface dirt to the inner metal concave element of the work. There are surface scratches and scattered rub marks either side of the outer metallic edge of the lamp. There are a few light media accretions, handling marks and surface scratches to the surface of the filter disc.
