Overall in very good condition. The brass surfaces present with light surface scratches and scuffing throughout consistent with gentle use. The brass with occasional and very minor oxidation marks concentrated to the center of the hanging structure, which are consistent with age and the natural evolution of the medium. Sotheby's does not guarantee electrical components and suggests having all wiring inspected by a licensed electrician.
