Condition

Overall in very good condition. The shade and base are well matched in color and decoration, and by all accounts appear to have originated together. The shade with some small scattered air bubble inclusions inherent in the making. The underside of the base with a small and minor surface bruise (does not extend through the surface of the glass and appears stable), and an irregular dark red thread of color which appears to be inherent in the making. With period hardware, sockets, switches and finial. Lacking bakelite cord guide on side of base. The lamp displays strong color and intense iridescence, with exceptionally well-articulated feather decoration.
