Condition

Overall in good original condition. Each of the works in this lot represent a very different design by the artist. The lazy-susan with a minor edge chip to the underside measuring ¾ inch in total length. The glass with minor surface sratches from gentle use. There are four other small edge chips to the underside of the central glass plate. The chromium-plated metal elements of this piece with minor rubbing, discoloration and surface scratches consistent with gentle use and the natural aging process of the material. The leather edged tray with a few surface scratches from use. The leather edging with some minor discoloration, edge nicks and scattered minor losses consistent with use and handling. There are three isolated areas where the top surface of the leather has lightly lifted and with a few minute associated losses. This is minor and not visible once the tray is placed. The clock with surface dirt throughout and some minor surface scratches and abrasions from use. The metal elements with surface dirt and some dullness to the finish from age. The clock mechanism has not been examined for functionality. Three rare works to appear by Lobel on the auction market.
