Condition
Overall very good condition. The favrile glass shades are an assembled set and are in good condition showing a beautiful range of saturated colors to the iridescence. Three of the shades are well-matched and one with a slightly more gold in appearance, as seen in the catalogue illustration. Please contact the department for additional images of the shades. The shades with a few very small and minor air bubble and particulate inclusions inherent in the making. One shade with a few minute flecks to the top aperture rim, which are not visible once the shade is installed in the base. The patinated bronze base displays a rich brown and green patina with light rubbing consistent with age and gentle use. With some minor surface dirt in the recessed elements of the decoration to the top of the base. The sockets and switch appear to be original and undisturbed. A fine example of this Lily lamp model.
