Condition

Overall very good condition. The sconces present with great nuance through the glass. The technique used to execute the glass panels has a "chipped" effect when viewed in person. Each sconce displays three mobile panels. The glass with a rough surface which is inherent in the making. The glass with a few minor inherent irregularities and particulate inclusions. A few surface scratches throughout. The metal structure present with surface scratches consistent with age and gentle use. A beautiful and highly modern work by Printz.
