Condition

Very interesting and unusual form. Shade fabric is later. Please note that the shade can be firmly attached to the rod but it does not slide down to the base. The rod is also slightly loose at base. Possibly the rod was able to switch out to another candleholder originally to make it a three light candelabra. Some rubbing and oxidation to mounts. Some casting cracks to mounts.
