Good overall condition. The surface presents with a few rare and extremely light surface scratches and some horizontal traces of light wear/light oxidation on the torso of the monkey. The right proper hand of the monkey presents with an oxidation stain of approximately 1 x1 cm. Some flaws in the glass shade, inherent to the manufacturing process and a few very minute stains. Sotheby's does not guarantee electrical components and suggests having all wiring inspected by a licensed electrician.
