Condition
Overall in good condition. The glass with a few minor air bubbles and particulate inclusions inherent in the making and not at all visually distractive. The glass with a few shallow surface scratches and a few very small edge chips consistent with gentle handling. The ceiling cap is period. The cords have been replaced and are in good condition with minor surface dirt. A very poetic design by Lalique in very good condition.
