Condition
Overall very good condition. The bronze elements of the lamp retain a beautiful patina from age. With minor surface dirt to the recessed elements of the decoration. The shade, which shows a variation of brilliant red and yellow hues, with some minor surface scratches to the exterior, likely from rubbing against the decorative armature. With the present wiring configuration, the glass shade cannot be removed from the base. An elegant shade coloration and is paired with a highly sculptural base.
