Condition

The height is given without the shades and the electrical components (sockets and bulbs). The total height is 38 cm. Fair overall condition, consistent with age and use. The finish presents with some surface scratches, some tiny nicks, some instances of oxidation and losses throughout - as visible in the catalogue illustration - and would benefit from the care of a professional restorer. The fabric shades are newer and in very good overall condition. They presents with some light soiling and a few tiny stains. Sotheby's does not guarantee electrical components and suggests having all wiring inspected by a licensed electrician.
