Condition
Very good overall condition. The shade with approximately 13-15 cracks to the glass scattered throughout. With surface soiling to the shade, particularly in the recessed areas around the lead lines, which would benefit from a sensitive cleaning. The base with a rich brown and green patina with only minor rubbing from age and gentle use. There are a few scattered flake losses to the patina on the base notable to the edges of the foot. The sockets and switches appear to be original. With period finial. The shade leading is finely executed and displays a rich russet brown and green patina. When viewed in person, the colors of the shade are slightly more vibrant than in the catalogue illustration, and the yellows are more saturated.
