Condition
Good overall condition. The glass elements presents with a few light scratches and a few rare and extremely tiny chips concentrated along the edges and the corners and visible only upon close-inspection. The brass elements presents with some light scratches, some tiny dents and instances of light oxidation with minute oxidation stains. The lacquered metal elements presents with a few light scratches and very tiny chips of lacquer, not visually distractive, and with some soiling, more significant on the white paint. They have been re-lacquered at a later date and they appear to present with some rust below the new layer of paint. Sotheby's does not guarantee electrical components and suggests having all wiring inspected by a licensed electrician.
