Condition

Overall in very good condition. The nickel-plated lamp and the chromium-plated counterbalance with some light surface scratches to the surfaces scattered throughout, consistent with age and gentle use. The nickel-plated surfaces of the lamp present with some light pitting, light discoloration and minor tarnishing consistent with age and the natural aging process of the material. The standard rod is bent slightly to the proper right immediately where the rod connects to the cylindrical shade, as seen in the catalogue illustration. This lamp is electrically stable and is fitted with a European standard plug. A wonderful and dynamic design showing Oud’s close attention to sculptural details while remaining attentive to function.
