Condition

Overall in very good condition. The stainless shade of the floor lamp is fixed in place and with some occasional surface scratches, abrasion marks and finger print marks consistent with age and use. The base, standard and finial with occasional surface scratches, pitting and discoloration consistent with age and use. Base with a very few shallow surface dings. Socket replaced. As expected the central base and standard have a few areas of plating loss. The interior of the lamp shade with surface soiling and discoloration. Electrically stable with plug for use in the US.
