The filigree overlays on the exterior and interior are all intact and in good condition. The shade leading with some minor rubbing to the gilt patina. The base presents with a vibrant, lustrous gilt doré patina. The bronze with some light surface soiling and scattered minor discolorations consistent with age and use. Al sockets appear original and undisturbed. With a period finial in good condition with scattered minor surface scratches, abrasions, minor dimples and some rubbing to the gilt patina.
