Overall in good condition. When viewed in person, the glass presents with a highly nuanced iridized green color. The glass with a few minor air bubbles and imperfections inherent in the making and not visually distracting. The glass surfaces with a few surface scratches consistent with age and gentle handling. The metal surfaces with rubbing to the plating, a few discolorations and spots visible in the catalogue illustration. The back of the sconce is slightly bent and has been stabilized at some point, with a minor evidence of glue residue along the edge. The sockets have been replaced at some point in the history of the piece.
