Condition
Overall in very good condition. When viewed in person the rods are slightly brighter in tone when compared to the catalog illustration. The surfaces with oxidation, fine scratches and tarnish throughout, concentrated to the center of the base as partially visible in the catalog illustration. Two rods sit slightly apart from the rest as partially visible in the catalog illustration but common with age and not detractive. A striking and dynamic tabletop example of Bertoia's spray work.
