Condition
Overall in very good condition. The patina presents with a more saturated color when viewed in person than in the catalogue illustration. The surfaces present with some surface scratches and minor abrasions, consistent with age and gentle use. Light surface dirt to the recessed area, consistent with age and gentle use. Electrified with a US plug, not tested or guaranteed for electricity. An iconic Art Nouveau design.
