Description

  • Dirk van Erp
  • Table Lamp
  • base partially stamped [DIRK VAN] ERP within a rectangular closed box below a windmill
  • hand-wrought cooper and mica

Condition

Generally very good overall condition. Some scattered surface scratches and imperfections to the patina as expected with age and use. The surface has scattered overall marks from moisture as if the piece were splashed with liquid and would benefit from restoration. The mica appears to be original but has areas of wear, cracking and minor dents as expected. The tabs which hold the mica in place seem original and do not show evidence of repeated movement. The lamp has been re-wired and the sockets and pull switches have been replaced.
In response to your inquiry, we are pleased to provide you with a general report of the condition of the property described above. Since we are not professional conservators or restorers, we urge you to consult with a restorer or conservator of your choice who will be better able to provide a detailed, professional report. Prospective buyers should inspect each lot to satisfy themselves as to condition and must understand that any statement made by Sotheby's is merely a subjective qualified opinion.
