Condition

Generally very good overall condition. Approximately 18 cracked tiles scattered throughout the shade and do not detract from the overall composition. The lamp has been re-wired with the addition of an updated plug. The sockets and switches appear to be original, one appears to have later internal fittings. The bronze has some rubbing and verdigris to the patina as expected with age and use. The base has a slight sheen to the surface which may indicate a secondary lacquer coating. The riser has a slightly bent threaded rod to accept a cap, however the present cap rests on the top of the lamp and is not meant to accept a threaded rod.
