Condition
Overall in very good original condition. This pair of lamps presents with similar patination and age and it is likely that they have been a pair since the time of creation. The metal elements with a few small and minor surface scratches, gentle rubbing and some concentrated abrasions, all consistent with age and gentle use. The top surfaces of the base with a surface scratches and minor scattered chips to the finish, some of which reveal the natural metal beneath, and minor spots of white house paint. The metal hardware to suspend the shades are executed in different metals and with slightly different constructions, and both appear period. The shades are in very good condition and well-matched as seen in the catalogue illustration. The glass with a few minute air bubbles and particulate inclusions consistent inherent in the production. The top rims of the shades with scattered minor edge chips, which are not visible once the shades are installed in the lamp. The top rim of the middle shade of one lamp with an edge chip measuring less than ΒΌ inch in length that is not visible when installed properly in the floor base. Each of the lamps is electrically stable. A rare opportunity to acquire a pair of this wonderful floor lamp model.
