Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. The upper element is screwed to the base. There are some scattered surface scratches noted throughout and some minor wear to the brass, particularly on the base. Upon close inspection, there are some minor irregularities in the welding, due to the artist's working method. The base does not fully rest flat, due to the hardware on the underside.
