Condition

Overall in very good condition consistent with age and use. The metal elements with scattered rubbing, staining and oxidation throughout . The stem of the shade with a shallow dent approximately 1/2 inch (2.3 cm) and is not visually disruptive. The painted interior of the shade with minor scattered flecks and abrasions. The metal cable with some minor kinks. The glass diffuser with very minor scuffs and faint surface scratches. A good example of this model by Finland’s preeminent lighting designers.
