Condition
The illustration of the catalogue is accurate despite a little too bright. The gilding of the bronze is more tarnished than illustrated. Good overall condition despite the inevitable minor scratches and marks due to age and use.
A gilt-bronze ornament between two arms of light is missing. A gilt-bronze palm is also missing at the top of the stem. Both gilt-bronze ornaments can be reproduced easily.
The electrical fitting is incomplete and it has to be changed.
Nice proportions.
