Condition

Good overall condition. The patinated metal appears oxidized, as per the artist’s intention. There are a few small oxidation and rust traces, including more significant one on the edge of one ray. The glass lenses present with rare surface scratches, not visually distracting, and with some light soiling. A few metal stems holdings the lenses appear to be slightly bent. The mirrored glass presents with a few instances of pitting of oxidation to the silvering.
