Condition
Overall very good condition consistent with age and gentle use. The brass mount with scattered areas of faint oxidation concentrated near the stem and outer surface. The painted surfaces in very good condition with light wear and marks concentrated to the base. The glass in very good condition with very faint surface scratches to the frosted surfaces that do not detract. The footswitch appears to be original and is in very good condition with scattered oxidation to the brass. Sotheby's does not guarantee electrical components and suggests having all wiring inspected by a licensed electrician.
