Condition
Overall in very good condition. The shade with approximately 25-30 cracks to the glass tiles dispersed throughout. The interior of the shade with one small area above the lower rim with white surface residue. The patinated bronze surfaces of the base display a rich brown patina with green highlights. The bronze surfaces with some occasional light surface scratches, rubbing and some minor areas of surface soiling and residue consistent with age and gentle use. The telescoping device on the base moves with ease. All of the sockets and paddle switches appear to be original and undisturbed. With a very rare large-scaled domed reticulated period finial, which is in beautiful condition and displays a corresponding patina to the base. An attractive seasonal peony, showing a well-varied glass selection and color palette in each quadrant of the shade.
