Condition
Very good overall condition. The shade with approximately 25-30 cracks to the glass scattered throughout. The base with a particularly rich russet brown and green mottled patina with only light rubbing and minor wear consistent with age and gentle use. The period finial with a conforming rich patina. The sockets and switches all appear to be original. A superb example of this rare model, displaying exceptional confetti glass that imparts the shade with a great sense of depth and texture.
