Condition
Good overall condition consistent with age and gentle use. The painted metal surfaces are soiled and presents with some light crazing throughout, consistent with age and use. There are some scattered light scuffs, scratches and some minor paint chips, some revealing the base metal below. The top of the shade with lighter touched up paint spots where the screws are located below and around the holes. Large portions of the base have been repainted at a later date. The fabric shade has been replaced and has a few minor rust spots, each approximately 0.2mm. The original glass liner is missing. Sotheby's does not guarantee electrical components and suggests having all wiring inspected by a licensed electrician.
