Condition
Overall very good condition. The bronze base with occasional minor scattered surface scratches and abrasions consistent with age and gentle handling. The suspended candle cup appears to be a reproduction. With a period shade fitter that appears to have been restored at some point, with one small broken stretcher on the flat perforated surface of the fitter, stable. The fitter with three ball screws. The favrile glass shade is in very good condition and presents with strong iridescence and brilliant coloration. The glass with scattered minute air bubbles, particulate inclusions, and minor surface irregularities inherent in the making and not visually detractive. A dynamic candlestick model paired with an exceptionally decorated favrile glass shade.
