Condition
Overall very good original condition. The surfaces throughout retain a rich patina, showing gentle rubbing, minor surface scratches and light surface soiling. The top portion of the pin with some minor discolorations likely consistent with the natural aging process. The base with more concentrated surface soiling and surface scratches, consistent with age and use. The light element is electrically stable and is being sold with a single bulb. Please note the measurements of this sculpture as it is a large floor lamp. This work with a strong presence and great scale. A rare model to appear at auction.
