Condition
Overall in very good condition. The shade with no visible cracks to the geometric register or inset Turtle-Back tiles. All of the Turtle-Back tiles appear original and undisturbed, with no visible cracks or condition issues. All of the Turtle-Back tiles are beautifully iridized on the exterior, and when viewed with exterior reflected light display strong luminous color with a range of brilliant jewel-tone hues. The bronze work on the shade displays a particularly rich and satisfying green and russet brown mottled patina. All of the accompanying bronze hardware is replaced, displaying a corresponding patina to the shade. A very charming and elegantly-proportioned hanger.
