Condition

Overall in good condition. The surfaces present with minor surface scratches, a few minor abrasions and light surface dirt consistent with age and gentle use. One of the arms has been sensitively restored where the branch attaches to the central mount. When viewed in person, the ceiling light presents with an intricate decoration and very naturalistic composition that encapsulates Claude Lalanne vision. -----
