Condition
Very good overall condition. The base and shade have been re-plated and the shade has been re-enameled as expected with age and use. There is some rubbing and loss to the plating on the stem of the base as expected. The shade sits slightly askew on the riser and would benefit from a slight adjustment. Lamp has been re-wired for use in the United States. A superb example of this rare lamp.
