Condition
There are approximately 10-12 cracks to the glass tiles dispersed throughout the shade. With soiling around many of the exterior lead lines and recessed pores of the glass. The bronze surfaces throughout with some occasional light surface scratches and gentle rubbing consistent with age and use. All the components on the base appear to be original and undisturbed, including the original bronze switch at the bottom center of the base, as the vibrant russet red and green patinas are consistent throughout. With period sockets, switches, and finial. A particularly strong example of the model, representing the ideal pairing of the shade and base, which present beautifully as a unit. The patina on the base is exceptionally rich and vibrant, with contrasting shades of russet red and green, and the glass selection is very strong, displaying intense mottling
