with a "Scroll" Senior floor base and "Pig Tail" finial

Private Collection, New Hampshire
Skinner Boston, December 6, 2014, lot 139
Acquired from the above by the present owner

Overall in very good condition. The shade with approximately 10 cracks throughout, all seemingly stable. The shade with light surface soiling to the glass and adjacent borders of the shade leading throughout, consistent with age and gentle handling. The shade does not appear to have any replaced glass tiles and the leading throughout appears undisturbed. The base displays with a rich russet brown and green patina with light surface scratches, minor abrasions and light surface soiling consistent with age and gentle handling. The circumference of the base cushion and ball feet with scattered abrasions and small areas of wear to the patina. The shade wheel is lacking two screws but is stable. With later reproduction finial with patina that is highly complementary to the shade and base. A wonderful large-scale floor lamp with great presence.
