Good overall condition. There are approximately 60-65 cracked tiles scattered throughout the shade. Some surface soiling to the shade particularly in the recesses around the leading. The brown and green patina to the leading is consistent throughout. The base with a rich mottled reddish brown and green patina with only minor rubbing to the high points consistent with age and gentle use. The sockets and switches appear to be original. The finial cap is a later reproduction. The lamp has been rewired. The shade has an overall pleasing vibrant color palette and is a fine example of this model.
