Condition
Overall very good condition consistent with age and use. The brass surface with faint surface scratches and minor surface dirt consistent with age and gentle use. A few very minor dents concentrated to the relief portions of the design. Minor oxidizing of the brass concentrated around the foot of the lamp.
