Condition

Overall good condition. The shade with approximately 11 cracks throughout. One cracked tile to the left adjacent to one of the bunches of crocus stems at mid-height of the shade with some minor glass loss. The shade is slightly out of round. The base is in good condition with a nice green-brown patina. The central ball of the socket cluster has possibly been touched up with green paint at some point in the history of the piece. The bronze surfaces throughout with minor surface scratches and abrasions consistent with age and gentle use. With period finial lacking a threaded pin. The knop of the finial is slightly indented with wear to the patina especially just below the knop. All sockets appear to be original and undisturbed.
