Condition
Overall very good original condition. With some light surface dirt and discoloration to the brass armature consistent with age and use. The plastic shades are in good condition with scattered surface dirt to the interiors and light discoloration. The shades are designed on a ball joint, which allows the angle of the shade to be altered. The fixture is presently electrically stable. With an adjustable ceiling cap. This piece presents very sculpturally in person with impressive presence created by the contrast of the brass structure and the cylindrical shades.
