Condition
Overall in very good original condition. When viewed in person, the glass is a richer golden bronze color compared to the catalogue illustration. The talosel resin with a few loose areas and minor losses concentrated to the outer edges of the bronze points, visible in the catalogue illustration. The glass elements with scattered cracks and a few minor losses, stable, visible in the catalogue illustration and consistent with age and gentle handling. The convex mirrored glass appears to have been replaced and presents with a few minor surface scratches and surface dirt consistent with age and gentle handling. An iconic model in a large size.
