Condition
Overall in very good condition. The metal elements with faint surface scratches and a few very minor indentations throughout, and with a few isolated instances of very minor oxidation, all not visually distracting and consistent with age and gentle use. The glass panels with some air bubbles and particulate inclusions, inherent to the production. One of the outer glass panels has been replaced by the original manufacturer. The lightbulb is housed within a glass cage; one of these panels to this inner glass cage with a minor crack along its top edge, held stable by its metal hardware. This inner glass cage also with some instances of adhesive tape. A captivating and beautiful geometric form by Matali Crasset.
