Condition

Overall condition very good, with the exception of a very minor flake loss to the outside edge of the medium and small glass shade. In our opinion these do not adversely affect the overall attractive appearance of the lamp. The bronze stem remains in very good original condition with light handling wear to the patina to the upper stem commensurate with age and use.
