Condition
Overall very good original condition. The lamp base presents with a wonderful painterly quality to the glazework with colors ranging from deeply saturated greens to vivid yellows. There is one minor edge chip, measuring ΒΌ inch in length to the underside of the flared portion of the lamp base. The underbase is covered with a felt pad. The shade appears to be later and is well well-proportioned to the base. With a single socket to the interior fitted for a bayonet bulb. Please note that the plugs have been changed on this lamp and are presently fitted with US plugs. A wonderful highly detailed lamp base with a deeply sculptural form.
