Condition
Overall in very good condition. This lamp is being consigned by descendants of the original owners, and by all accounts the shade, base and finial have all originated together. The shade with approximately 12 cracks to the glass tiles dispersed throughout. The top shade ring has been re-leaded and stabilized, but all of the white glass in the top border row is original and intact. The patinated bronze base with some light rubbing and wear to the patina consistent with age and gentle use. All of the sockets appear original. Two of the paddle switches appear original, and one paddle switch is a later replacement. A beautiful example of the model displaying a strong range of color.
