Condition
Overall very good condition consistent with age. The wrapped leather in good condition throughout with minor rubbing and areas of discoloration due to age and gentle handing, typical with leather of this period. The plastic button on the top of the shade is likely later. There is a light patination to the shade and base. A lovely period example that presents well overall. Sotheby's does not guarantee electrical components and suggests having all wiring inspected by a licensed electrician.
