Condition
Overall good condition. The wooden frames have most likely been re-painted at a later stage and then partially re-sanded. This gives a nice patinated aspect to the frames. The metal elements with light oxidation and a few scratches, the metal structure with oxidation traces beneath the white paint. The glass with a few light surface scratches. Sotheby's does not guarantee electrical components and suggests having all wiring inspected by a licensed electrician.
