Condition

Overall in very good original condition. The glass with a few minor air bubbles and particulate inclusions inherent in the making and not at all visually distractive. The glass surfaces with a few shallow scratches consistent with gentle handling. The metal with rust throughout, which is mostly concealed by the shade when the lamp is assembled. The lamp illuminates in the base and in the shade as seen in the catalogue illustration. The lamp is currently fitted with a US plug and is not guaranteed for electricity. A great example of the model which presents with a great scale when viewed first-hand.
