Condition

EN : Good overall condition. Superficial and minor scratches and light oxidation traces especially in the crevices. The paper has become slightly yellow due to age and is a bit wrapped on the edges (partially visible on the catalogue illustration). A hole has been willingly made on the paper shade in order to maintain it. All consistent with age and use. This lamp is accompanied by an additional original paper shade . Sotheby's does not guarantee electrical components and suggests having all wiring inspected by a licensed electrician. ///////// FR : Bon état général. Fines rayures superficielles et légère traces d'oxydation, en particulier dans les recoins. Le papier est devenu légèrement jaune avec le temps et est froissé aux extrémités. Un trou a volontairement été fait sur l'abat-jour en papier afin de le maintenir. L'ensemble cohérent avec l'âge et l'utilisation de la pièce. Cette lampe est accompagnée d'un abat-jour d'origine supplémentaire. Sotheby's ne garantit pas le système électrique et recommande de le faire inspecter par un professionnel.
