Condition
Overall in good condition. The metal surfaces with some minor surface scratches, very minor scattered abrasions and some areas of oxidation, visible in the catalogue illustration and consistent with age and gentle use. The interior of the lamp retains its original paint, with some losses, mostly concentrated along the edges and consistent with age and gentle use. The cord appears to have been replaced at some point in the history of the lamp. The lamp retains its original ceiling cap, which is in good condition with some remnants of white house paint along the upper edge. The lamp is not guaranteed for electricity. An iconic design by Poul Henningsen.
