Overall in very good condition. There are approximately 25 cracks to the glass dispersed throughout the shade. The patinated bronze surfaces of the base show very minimal gentle wear and rubbing. There are some very small and minor areas of patina loss to the ends of the shade arms where the shade has rubbed the surface. With replaced riser, socket cluster and pull chain switches, and with a reproduction drop finial. A particularly strong example of the model, with a vibrant and well varied glass selection distinguished by the strong variation of pinks articulating the roses and the vibrant blues in the horizontal banding. The russet red and green base patina is exceptionally rich.
