Condition
Variegated gold-colored patina which is slightly uneven in places. There appear to be a couple of small casting faults and porosity, including some small cracks at the base of the woman's neck and where the lamp meets the foot. Minor staining and surface nicks in places, most notably to the foot. The lamp is in good overall condition.
