Condition
Overall excellent original condition. The metal surfaces with some scattered areas of light oxidation, consistent with age. A few rods with slight bending that are not visually distracting. The steel rod with a few minute specks of white house paint. The original marble base with minor surface scratches and a small chip at the aperture for the rod, visible only upon close inspection. A great early example of Bertoia’s iconic dandelion form.
