Good overall condition. Some instances of wear to the patina throughout, consistent with age and use. The base presents with some traces of oxidation, including a more visible light vert-de-gris stain along one junction. This lot is sold with a shade and a glass reflector shade. The glass reflector shade is newer. Sotheby's does not guarantee electrical components and suggests having all wiring inspected by a licensed electrician.
