Condition
Overall very good condition. The shop shade with a very nice copper patina, with a light oxidation to the bottom edges, all consistent with age. The hanging system is gilt and presents with a few minor losses at the upper edges and well as a light spotty oxidation. The interior of the largest shade with a few scuffs and scratches, but only visible when examined from directly underneath. The ceiling cap and upper hanging system with a clear varnish, presenting with scattered scuffs and scratches, visible in the catalogue illustration. The light has a fixed brass rod that connects with the ceiling cap and extends 53 in. A popular Henningsen design that casts a warm downwards glow and presents well overall.
