Condition

Overall excellent condition. The reverse of the piece is painted a brilliant yellow color. When the lamp is illuminated, it therefore projects a yellow glow. With lighting agent is slightly loose. With very minor chips to the bottom edge. Half way up the front edge of the standard is an incised decoration, which is visible in the catalogue illustration. This is inherent in the making and not the result of condition. Currently configured for US plugs.
