Condition
Overall very good original condition. The glass elements of the lamps bases with the some minor surface scratches. The brass standard with light rubbing and some discoloration. The original fabric shades are in very good condition. The shades with attached metal understructures which maintain their shape and allow them to attach to the standard. One of the table lamps with one section of the frame detached from the fabric shade. When the finial is attached, this shade is held properly in place. A superb pair of lamps with a significant presence in person heightened by the deep blue coloration. A rare and elegant design.
