Generally good overall condition. Some surface dirt, rubbing and darkening to gilt surfaces as expected from age and use. Lamp needs to be re-wired. The sockets do not match which would indicate replacements. Eight of the smaller tiles are cracked, some filled with resin repairs to the back which are not overly visible when lamp is lit and viewed from the exterior. The present lot has nice scale and presence for this model.
