Overall good condition. The bronze surfaces presents with a very slight pink hue when viewed first hand. The bronze surfaces with a few light surface scratches, minor abrasions, light surface soiling and a few finger prints consistent with age and gentle use. The bronze surfaces could easily be polished. The front of the standard with a small dent measuring approximately ½ by ½ inches. The proper left bottom edge with a minor imperfection in the cast, not visually distracting. The glass top has been replaced at some point in the history of the piece and presents with a few light surface scratches and light surface soiling consistent with age and gentle use. A sculptural and very dynamic design by Kagan.
