Condition

Very good overall condition. The lacquered aluminium presents with some extremely light surface scratches and with with a few rare scratches. There are a few minute losses of paint to the edges of the base, including a slightly larger one caused by a scuff on 0,3 x 3,5 cm. The surface presents with a few scattered minute stains. This lot has most likely been re-painted at a later date. Sotheby's does not guarantee electrical components and suggests having all wiring inspected by a licensed electrician.
