'Acorn' Table Lamp, circa 1902

The condition of lots can vary widely and the nature of the lots sold means that they are unlikely to be in a perfect condition. Lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale.

Overall good condition commensurate with age and gentle use. The shade presents with amber acorns against a geometric background in a gradient of emerald green to lightly mottled olive green. The glass presents with minute inclusions and scattered air bubbles, inherent in the making. With light surface scratches and minor surface dirt concentrated to the recessed areas. With one tile that has been sensitively and professionally replaced in a manner consistent with the original. The base with a rich deep brown patina with minor red overtones. The metal surfaces with light scratches, minor wear, abrasions, and scattered areas of light oxidation typical with aging of this material. The collar and liner have been sensitively and professionally stabilized. The oil canister appears to be original. The base has been adapted for electricity at an early point in the history of the piece. With a Plume and Atwood 'Duplex' burner, lacking one knob. With a period socket.

Please note that while the lamp appears to be in working condition, Christie’s does not guarantee the functionality of the electrical components.
