Condition

Good overall condition. The gilt bronze is slightly tarnished overall and presents with a few slightly darker stains, as partially visible on the catalogue illustration, including a few tiny vert-de-gris stains. The patinated bronze presents with some light wear on the protruding elements, consistent with age and use. There is some slightly more significant handling wear on the beak. There are a few rare and tiny white paint stains. The paper shade is in condition of use and has been willingly torn by the artist in order to be fixed. There are two additional tears to the paper shade, some scattered foldings and some scattered tiny stains. Sotheby's does not guarantee electrical components and suggests having all wiring inspected by a licensed electrician.
