Condition
Overall in excellent original condition. This lamp appears to have been superbly cared for over the past years and presently in extraordinary original condition. The shade with only minute surface scratches. The rubber standard with some light surface dirt. The shade is designed on a ball joint and therefore the angle of the shade can be adjusted. The design on the base plate allows for hidden coiling of the power cord. This is the first known appearance of the model at auction. Electrically stable and fitted with US plugs.
