Emile Gallé

Overall in very good original condition. The glass shade with a few light surface scratches, which are consistent with age and contact with adjacent surfaces. The shade with minor air bubbles scattered throughout which are inherent in the making. The recessed contours of the base design with some light surface soiling consistent with age. The base with some wear to the gilt treatment at the high points of the design and to the shade arms where the shade rests on the outer terminals. This lamp is electrically stable and fitted with a standard US plug. The lamp shade presents with nice coloration and a naturalistic rendering of floral motifs ranging from deep violet to peach tones.
