Condition
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the illustration fails to convey the sequenced flashing of the light bulbs in the original.
This work is in very good condition. There are a few minor losses to the gold plating scattered at intervals to the side edges, and one small loss towards the right of the curved bottom edge of the 'S' shape.
