Condition

Overall in very good condition. The talosel resin with a few loose areas and minor losses concentrated to the points of the tips of the black glass, visible in the catalogue illustration. Two of the white glass elements with minor cracks, stable and consistent with age and gentle handling. The convex mirror appears to have been replaced at some point in the history of the piece. A wonderful example of this model with a contrasting monochrome color scheme.
