Condition

Generally good overall condition. The lamp has been re-gilded and has had a sepia toned stain applied to the bronze and the glass to make the lamp a pair with the previous lot. Two of the large tiles have a small crack each, and two of the small tiles each have a crack. The lamp has been re-wired and appears to have original sockets and switches. There are some minor surface imperfections to the cast surfaces of the base and finial. Some minor rubbing and pitting to gilding as expected. This lamp has a slightly more russet tone when lit as compared to the previous lot which has more of a golden-yellow tone.
