Condition
A decorative model of good overall appearance. Some variations to the colour of the patina, as intended by the designer, as can partially be seen in the illustration. Minor old marks, scratches and wear in places, consistent with age and use. Not tested or guaranteed for electricity but in working order during the exhibition. Small chip to the rim of the glass shade, totally hidden when upright. A charming work, ready for display.
