Condition
Overall very good condition. The brass finish has been refreshed and retains a wonderful, natural glow. There is a natural patination near the lower register of the shade. The diffuser is a recent replacement. The lot is sold together with a curved, tubular ceiling mount as well as three brass loops for ceiling mounting. Characteristic of Tynell lighting, the work presents with delicate perforations to the subtle cone shaped shade. Sotheby's does not guarantee electrical components and suggests having all wiring inspected by a licensed electrician.
