Condition
Overall very good condition consistent with age and gentle use. Minor scattered oxidation to the brass elements, with a very minor dent approximately 1/4 inch across near the top of the shade and is not visually distracting. A small circular stain approximately 2 inches in diameter on the base which may come out with polishing. Scattered paint loss to the interior of the shade. Sotheby's does not guarantee electrical components and suggests having all wiring inspected by a licensed electrician.
