Condition

Overall in good condition. The shade presents with some light surface soiling and several tight hairline cracks, some of them might have been previously stabilized. The patinated bronze base presents with some light scratches, a few tiny chips of patina and instances of wear to the patina. The lower half of the base presents with oxidation and stains, more significant on the floor base. The heat cap presents with some oxidation and a few shallow indentations. Sotheby's does not guarantee electrical components and suggests having all wiring inspected by a licensed electrician. One socket is missing.
