Condition
Good overall condition. The surface with a few surface scratches, minor abrasions and light discoloration consistent with age and gentle use, the base with a few concentrated circular surface scratches not visually distracting and which could be polished if one wishes. The lamp is currently fitted with a us plug and a small bayonet socket. The lot is sold without a shade. A rare work by Maison Desny to appear at auction and a very refined design.
