Condition Report (Vintage with signs of wear):
The piece is structurally sound, stable, and 100% original, including the authentic copper/brass brazing visible at the central stem joints. It displays an honest, widespread vintage patina consistent with its age: superficial scratches and faint wax residue on the drip trays, paint loss/chipping along the outer edge of the base on both sides, and minor surface oxidation at the central cluster. As shown in the styled cover photo, these minor cosmetic lacquer flaws disappear from a normal viewing distance, leaving its stunning geometric silhouette fully intact. Every detail has been transparently photographed.
