Condition
Overall in good condition. When viewed in person, the metal is slightly less yellow than in the catalogue illustration, more of of silvery gold. The surfaces with a few surface scratches, minor abrasions and light surface rubbing consistent with age and gentle handling. The triangle to the upper right side of the central spiral with a minor indentation. The black lacquered surfaces with minor surface scratches and wear to the lacquer, not at all visually distracting. A very small portion of the lacquer to the right side of the spiral has been very sensitively restored, and the restoration is hardly visible. A deeply dynamic and modern design by Jean Dunand.
