Condition Report
Overall very good, stable and structurally sound condition.  All steel elements present well.  The longest brass element shows one crack to lacquered finish, which has resulted is some very mild oxidation in the surrounding area.  Glass is free of any major losses with light scuffs and scratches from age-relateduse.
