Condition
Overall in good original condition. The gilt surfaces with minor surface scratches, minor rubbing to the high points of the design and light surface soiling to the recessed portions, consistent with age and gentle use. The lamp is set with its original socket and presently is not fitted with wire and electrical plug. A very nice example of an iconic design in good original condition. -----
