Condition
Overall excellent condition. The lamp presents with minor surface irregularities that are inherent in the making and material. Electrically stable. This work is designed in manner in which the papier mache exterior can be detached form the wooden base (in which the lighting elements are mounted) which enables one to change in light bulbs. This lamp can be displayed on the floor our mounted on the wall. A nice original condition example of the model.
