Condition

Overall in good condition. The glass of the shade presents with a few minor irregularities and minor air bubbles inherent to the material. The glass surface with a few shallow surface scratches and minor surface dirt consistent with age and gentle use. The lower edge with a few extremely minor flecks to the edges. The metal surfaces with minor surface scratches and minute abrasions consistent with age and gentle use. Light wear to the patina and a few areas of oxidation concentrated to the upper part of the base, below the socket. A sculptural lamp combining the beautiful treatment of the metal and the highly detailed surface of the glass shade.
