Condition
Overall in very good condition. The lamp displays an assembled set of shades displaying variation in form and color. Three of the shades with very small and minor surface flecks to the top aperture rims which are not visible when the shades are installed. The gilt bronze base with surface wear, rubbing, surface soling, and small scattered traces of surface oxidation and discolorations consistent with age and use. The base retains its original decorative gilt bronze switch which is fully functional as a two-way switch. The interior sockets are later replacements. When viewed in person the shades impart a warm golden hue and are far less red than seen in the catalogue illustration.
