Condition
Overall very good condition. The lamp screen with approximately 2 hairline cracks to the glass tiles, stable. The screen with some extremely light surface soiling throughout concentrated to the contours adjacent to the leadlines. The filigree overlay on the dragonfly wings appears to be all intact. The leading with some minor wear to the gilt patina. The chain is possibly replaced. A very charming example of this screen design executed with an artistic glass selection featuring beautiful streamer glass within the dragonfly wings.
