Bob Ogorek, Davison, MI
Acquired from the above by the present owner, circa 1984

Overall in very good condition. The shade with approximately 7 cracks to the glass tiles dispersed throughout. The shade has minor traces of surface soiling concentrated around the perimeter edges of the lead lines and to some of the recessed contours of the glass. The shade leading is finely executed and beautifully rendered, displaying a rich green and russet brown patina with light surface rubbing throughout. The patinated bronze surfaces of the Senior “Scroll” base display rich tonalities of russet brown with subtle green highlights. The bronze surfaces throughout with some occasional light surface scratches, surface abrasions and with a few very shallow bruises to the perimeter contours of the base cushion, all consistent with age and gentle handling. All three sockets and paddle switches appear to be original and undisturbed. A stunning example of this "Swirling Leaf" model, displaying a richly saturated color palette in both foliate register and a vigorously mottled glass selection in the upper and lower geometric register ranging in color from brilliant blues to richly saturated greens. -----
