Condition
Overall very good condition consistent with age. Minor oxidation to the lampholders and a small burst air bubble approximately 1 cm in diameter to the interior of one shade and does not detract visually. Four screws which mount to the later wooden panels are missing. Sotheby's does not guarantee electrical components and suggests having all wiring inspected by a licensed electrician.
