Condition

Overall excellent condition. This piece shows very gentle use with a few very small and minor scratches to the chromium-plated feet and marble portion. The finial with some very light rubbing to the chromed surface the likely result of gentle handling. The shade is new and has been made in the manner, size and material consistent with the original design. A stunning visual statement when viewed in person.
