Condition

Generally in very good overall condition. The shade with approximately ten cracked tiles scattered throughout the composition. The finial is a bit stiff but fits nicely on the piece once in position. The piece has a layer of surface dirt overall and would benefit from a cleaning. There is some oxidization to the patina of the base. The lamp has been rewired and one switch is broken and lacking.
