Overall in very good condition. The wrought iron is in very good condition; it is finely cast. The shade is also in very good condition with a minor fine abrasion line on the outside where the shade touches the wrought iron, possibly from when the shade was screwed into the socket. The glass is beautifully decorated in an abstract flower design, in the interior of the shade near the center there is an area approx. ¼ in in diameter that has been yellowed due to an electrical short cut, this can easily be cleaned. Overall in very good condition, a very good example.
