Condition
Overall in very good condition. The shade with approximately 5 cracks to the glass tiles dispersed throughout. The patinated bronze surfaces of the base with some occasional light surface scratches and abrasions, rubbing to the patina, and a few small and minor transparent dark spots (possibly old ink stains) consistent with age and gentle use. All of the sockets and paddle switches appear to be original and undisturbed, and with a period finial. An attractive example of the model displaying an artistic color palette distinguished by a variety of different earth tones which softly contrast effectively against the vibrant green and light turquoise glass. The colors of this lamp are slightly more vibrant than seen in the catalogue illustration, which is slightly over saturated and too dense.
