"Dragonfly Cone" shade: model no. 353
Condition
Very good overall condition. The shade with approximately 24-28 cracked tiles scattered throughout. The shade with some surface soiling, particularly in the recessed contours of the decorative bronze overlays, which would benefit from a sensitive cleaning. There are large areas of retouching to the patina on the leading. The base with an overall pleasing green-brown patina with only light rubbing to the high points consistent with age and gentle use. One support arm is slightly askew and would benefit from a minor adjustment. The sockets and switches appear to be original. The lamp has been wired for European use. The lamp is an attractive example of this model executed in a particularly vibrant color palette.
