Condition
Good overall condition. The lamp is stamped I925 to the edge of the base. The patina presents with a more saturated color when viewed in person than it appears in the catalogue illustration. The surfaces present with some surface scratches and minor abrasions, consistent with age and gentle use. Light surface dirt to the recessed area, consistent with age and gentle use. The table lamp seems to have been regilded, but presents with a pleasing patina throughout. A nice example of an iconic model.
