The standard has been replaced at some point in the history of the piece and presents with some surface scratches consistent with age and gentle use. The lacquered metal surfaces with a few minor scattered surface scratches, visible in the catalogue illustration. The circular discs around the glass with minor irregularities and minor paint losses along the lower edge, not visually distracting. The glass elements appear to be original. The glass surfaces with a few minor surface scratches and a few minute edge abrasions consistent with age and gentle handling. The upper edge of four of the discs with a few chips, the largest one measuring approximately 1 x 1/2 in., not visible when the disc is inset in the light. The lamp is not guaranteed for electricity. A very modern and refined design.
