Condition
Overall in very good condition. The shade with approximately 12 cracks to the glass tiles dispersed throughout. The shade leading displays a complementary green and russet brown patina to the base. The shade with considerable surface soiling to the recessed contours of the glass and along the perimeter contours of the lead lines. The patinated bronze surfaces of the base with a few light surface scratches, gentle rubbing and scattered discolorations to the patina consistent with age. One edge of the base with a few very minor traces of white paint residue. The three outer socket casings appear to be original and undisturbed; the three paddle switches appear to be replaced. The period finial with light rubbing and one minor indentation. The top knop is presently detached from the finial, but could be easily re-affixed if desired. When installed all of these threaded elements are stable and secure. When viewed in person, the shade is slightly less saturated than seen in the catalogue illustration, with more subtle tones of green, butterscotch, peach and celadon. A highly attractive shade and base pairing with a rare and desirable base.
