Overall in very good condition. The shade with approximately 20-25 cracks to the glass tiles dispersed throughout. The patinated bronze surfaces of the base show minimal gentle wear and rubbing to the patina consistent with age and gentle use, and display exceptionally crisp definition to the casting and applied coil decoration and an exceptional rich green and russet brown patina. All of the sockets and paddle switches appear to be original and undisturbed, and with a period finial. The small threaded pin that secures the finial to the base wheel is presently lacking (this threaded pin is easily replaceable). A beautiful example of the model with a highly artistic and impressionistic glass selection.
