Condition

Overall in very good original condition. This model retains the original glass shades which present in person with a more saturated color palette when compared with the catalogue illustration. With minor wear the chroumium0plated standard and some discoloration throughout, which is consistent with the natural aging process of the material. A wonderful example of this sculptural lamp model.
