Condition
Overall very good condition. The copper surfaces with some scattered very minor surface scratches and abrasions throughout and minor traces of oxidation concentrated to the tops of the lanterns (partially visible in the catalogue illustration), mounting bracket arms and mounting plate covers. The original paper card strips on the backs of the mounting plates with some warping consistent with age. The original glass with very minor scattered air bubbles and particulate inclusions inherent in its production. The glass panes with some very minor scattered old edge flecks which are not visible when installed. A rare and important set from this iconic designer.
