Very good overall condition. The top aperture of the shade has no chips and only very light wear from age and gentle use. The shade has a few minor bubble inclusions the largest of which is masked by an engraved butterfly. The gilt and enameled base, cap and switch are clean and bright with only minor stay marks, particularly to the sides of the base and the top of the cap. Lamp is rewired. This is a very strong and intact example of this model.
