Condition
Overall in good condition. When viewed in person, the glass has a subtle light green color. The glass elements are original and present with a few minor internal chips not at all visually distracting and only visible upon close inspection. The glass surfaces with a few minor surface scratches and a few minute chips to six of the corners, not at all visually distracting and consistent with age and handling. The metal surfaces with minor surface scratches, light rubbing and minor areas of oxidation consistent with age. The lamp is currently fitted with a US plug. A very nice example of an iconic design by Maison Desny. -----
