Condition
Overall in very good condition. The bronze surfaces with a few surface scratches and rubbing to the gilding consistent with age and gentle use. The bronze has been recently waxed to enhance the gilding. The alabaster appears to be original with a few surface scratches, small wear and minute abrasions consistent with use and gentle use. The lower portion of the shade with a few circular scratches from the contact with the bronze base. With a "baïonnette" socket and a French plug. The lamp appears to be electrically stable. A very good example of an iconic model.
