Condition
Overall very good condition. The base with occasional minor scattered surface scratches and abrasions consistent with age and gentle handling. The bronze with some extremely minor casting flaws just above where the fronds fan out which appear to have been touched up at some point in the history of the piece, only visible upon close inspection. With a period shade fitter and three ball screws. The favrile glass shade is in very good condition with scattered minute air bubbles, particulate inclusions, and minor surface irregularities inherent in the making and not visually detractive. The glass surface with some occasional light surface scratches and with some concentrated surface scratches around the bottom collar where the shade is installed into the base, not visible when the shade is assembled. The lower shade aperture with some expected fleabites around the circumference, consistent with age and gentle handling. A charming example of the model.
