Condition
Overall very good condition consistent with age and gentle use. The lampshades with very minor oxidation at edge of rim and light wear throughout. Light scattered surface scratches mostly concentrated where the cap affixes to the top. The brass base and stem with more generalised wear, consistent with brass of this age. Sotheby's does not guarantee electrical components and suggests having all wiring inspected by a licensed electrician.
