Condition

Overall in very good condition. The glass with a few minor air bubbles and particulate inclusions inherent in the making and not at all visually distractive. The glass with a few shallow surface scratches consistent with gentle handling. The ceiling cap is original. The cords have been replaced and are in good condition with minor surface dirt. A wonderful design by Lalique in very good condition.
