The leading with some minor oxidation and rubbing. There is a single socket to the interior. The standard is suspended by two hooks affixed to either side of the top opening of the shade. Therefore the length of the standard to the shade is presently not variable. The ceiling cap is cropped in the catalogue illustration.

A wonderful sculptural design when illuminated.
