Condition

Overall excellent condition. Minor scratches to the underbase. With some very minor inherent airbubbles. The gray patine is in excellent condition retaining a nice separation in color with the glass. This is an early and rare variant of the model, as it does not have a finial and companion hole at the apex on the shade. Electrically stable.
