Bob Ogorek, Davison, MI
Private Collection, New York, circa 1984

Overall in very good condition. The shade with approximately 8 cracks to the glass tiles dispersed throughout. The shade leading is finely executed and beautifully rendered, displaying a rich green and russet brown patina with light surface rubbing throughout. The patinated bronze surfaces of the base display rich tonalities of russet brown with subtle green highlights. The bronze surfaces throughout with some occasional light surface scratches, gentle rubbing, and with some scattered surface discolorations and surface residue consistent with age and gentle handling. All three sockets and paddle switches appear to be original and undisturbed. The finial appears to be period, showing gentle surface wear and rubbing and a complementary patina to the base. An exceptionally strong and artistic example of this "Swirling Leaf" model, displaying a richly saturated color palette and a vigorously mottled glass selection.
