Condition
Overall in very good original condition. Please note that the lot is signed Gehry under the chin of the snake.
The lamp presents with minor surface irregularities that are inherent in the making and material. With very light surface dirt and one minute loss consistent with normal use and age. 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 example of the model.
