Condition

Overall excellent condition. With minor rubbing to the white painted metal shade. With minor scratches and discoloration to the metal elements consistent with age and gentle use. Electrically stable and presently fitted with a short cord with plug extending from the ceiling cap (not shown in the catalogue illustration). This design works on a counter-weight system, and therefore the angle of the white shade and horizontal support can be altered as desired. A very nice dynamic lighting design.
