Condition

Good overall condition. The gilt metal with some light surface scratches and very light oxidation throughout, consistent with age and use. The glaze presents with a few tiny flaws, inherent to the manufacturing process, and remnants of a previous paper label. Sotheby's does not guarantee electrical components and suggests having all wiring inspected by a licensed electrician.
