Provenance:

The Richard Collins Collection;

Failed PAT test 15/04/26.

Structurally, the light appears sound. There is some tarnishing to the brass, and some light scuffs to the glass. One area of the circular glass element has been polished (see additional photographs), but it is only visible upon close inspection. The lot presents well.
