Condition

Overall in good condition. The glass with a few minor air bubbles and particulate inclusions inherent in the making and not at all visually distracting. The surfaces with a few light surface scratches consistent with age and gentle handling. The shade with a V-shaped restoration from the edge to the top of the shade, measuring approximately 4 1/2 inches long, sensitively undertaken and only visible upon close inspection. The lower edge of the shade with a few very minor flecks around the perimeter. The silvered metal appears to have been cleaned and presents with a few light surface scratches, minor abrasions and minor wear consistent with age and gentle use.The lamp illuminates into the base and the shade and is a nice example of Daum acid-etched table lamps.
