Acquired from the above by the present owner

Overall in good original condition. Please note, the talosel material is very fragile and therefore should be handled at all times with care. With approximately 12 missing glass inset decorations, five of which are the large tear drop shaped inlays to the middle diamond shaped portion of the standard. The adjacent glass inlays in this area with cracks, also consistent with age and gentle wear. The lower foot with minor losses to the inlays, and some expected discoloration to the talosel consistent with age. The lamp presents with minor surface dirt to the recessed elements of the decoration. The shade and shade hardware are new. The lamp is electrically stable. Due to the fragile nature of this lamp, special handling and/or packing may be required during the shipping process.
