Condition

This work is in very good and stable condition overall. The work is fitted for an American electrical outlet. There is evidence of dust accumulation to the surface, particularly in the crevices of the links. The surface texture and tonal variations are consistent with the artist's choice of medium. The chain links show signs of minor dulling to the patinated surface in some areas along with scattered scuffs and scratches. There are some minor scuffs to the electrical wire. The lampshade element has some minor, scattered surface creasing and scattered accretions viewable upon close inspection.
