Overall in very good condition consistent with age and gentle use. The bronze presents with minor surface irregularities, inherent in the production and not visually distracting. The shade presents with occasional light surface wear and discolorations, not visually distracting. Sotheby's does not guarantee electrical components and suggests having all wiring inspected by a licensed electrician. A very stylish small-scale lamp.
