Condition

Very good overall condition. The shade with approximately 24-27 cracks to the glass, which are largely localized in three different areas along the side of the shade which appear to have been impacted in the past. The shade sits slightly askew on the base which would benefit from a minor adjustment. The base with a rich brown and green patina with minor rubbing from gentle use. One replaced screw and one screw lacking to a foot on the base. With period finial, and with replaced sockets and switches. The rare decorated drop-finial with one small shallow surface indentation. The shade with a superb, richly saturated selection of glass.
