The base is elevated on torch-cut "devil's tail" legs that echo the curves of Chippendale ogee feet, creating a striking fusion of modernist and historical motifs. MEASUREMENTS: H 60" x W 14.5" x D 14.5" CONDITION: Good antique condition with evenly distributed attractive patina. In working order, however buyer may want to rewire as a precaution. Retains original long harp with wood shade rest.
