Condition
Overall in very good condition. The lily shades are in excellent condition and represent a well-matched assembled set. Approximately three shades only with very small and minor edge chips and flecks to the top aperture rims (which is not at all visible when the shades are installed). The lily base is in seemingly untouched original condition, with considerable surface soiling, rubbing, and with a few isolated traces of a white surface residue and minor surface oxidation consistent with age and use. One of the small screws which secures the lower lily pad register to the upper base components is missing. The decorative lily pad base switch, and all twelve floriform shade bobeches and porcelain shade sockets appear to be original and undisturbed. An attractive example of this iconic model displaying strong color and iridescence to the lily shades, and a particularly artistic composition in the arrangement of the lily stems and shades.
