Overall in very good condition. The surfaces with a few minor surface scratches, minor scattered dents and minor wear to the silvering along the raised portions of the design, not visually distracting and consistent with age and gentle use. The recessed portions of the design with remnants of cleaning product. The base is possibly re-plated. The shade is possibly original and presents with some surface soiling, discoloration and a few scattered stains, mostly visible on the interior. The lamp is fitted with a US plug and is not guaranteed for electricity. A very elegant lamp.
