Elio Martinelli

Overall very good condition. The lacquered metal surfaces present with evidence of very light rubbing, nicks and scuffs, particularly at outer edge of lamp shade as well as back edges of vertical arm supports, all of which are consistent with age and gentle use. The back ball element with light surface residue, likely from a sticker at some stage. The lamp utilizes a single bulb, with half chrome. The lamp is fully adjustable with both the chains and wiring in good condition. Please note Sotheby's does not guarantee the functionality and/or the voltage compatibility for electrical wiring, and suggests having all electrical components inspected by a licensed electrician. A function model in a vibrant color, the lamp presents very well overall.
