Condition
Overall in very good condition. The lamp has been recently professionally waxed. The standard of the lamp showing rubbing to the finish, as seen in the catalogue illustration and surface scratches. With minor surface dirt to the recessed portions of the frame. The shade appears original and with minor surface dirt, fading, and a few minor chips at the edges. With two sockets to the interior. The shade presents with a saturated color, and is presently fragile because of the material. A very nice offering with the original shade.
