Condition
Very good overall condition. The shades are a very well matched set and conform well in form and color, with particularly strong iridescence which ranges from magenta to amber to blue. One shade with a tight hairline crack extending approximately 3/4 inch from the top aperture (which is not visible when mounted within the base). Five shades have very small and minor chips to the inner edges of the top apertures which are not visble when the shades are mounted within the base. The base has a pleasing gilt finish with minor surface soiling notably in the recesses of the textured surface. With period sockets and switch.
