Christie's New York, March 3, 1994, lot 176
Condition
In generally very good overall condition. The colors are more intense in person with a greater tonality to the green hues. The red glass is more translucent and jewel-like in person when compared with the catalogue illustration. The top ring has a slight separation. Approximately 24 cracked tiles a cluster of which are limited to an impact area. The lamp was converted to electricity at a later date, however the canister is retained. The base has some rubbing and verdigris to the patina as expected with age and use. There is some possible re-touching to the patina on the arms where they have been adjusted over time. The base is otherwise and fine example of this exceedingly rare model.
