Condition
Overall excellent original condition. This is a wonderful deeply sculptural work when viewed in person with impressive presence and scale. The surface presents with some very light surface dirt to the lower portions of the legs, which is consistent with gentle use. A wonderfully large scale sculpture by the Atelier Lieshout.
For the purpose of de-installation and transport, the shade is removable from the base. The shade is held in place by two metal rods that pass through the upper portion of the base standard. These also can be removed for the storage.
