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 very good condition. The glass shade presents with beautiful light blue iridescent swirls amidst the emerald green ground. While illuminated it presents with warm amber and yellow green hues. The glass with very few minute inclusions and minor air bubbles inherent in the making and not visually distracting. With very minor surface soiling, a few faint surface scratches, and minor edge wear. The mouth rim with two minor edge chips (one 1⁄4 in. and the other 1⁄8 in.) where the metal hardware rests, not visible when set in place. The base presents with a russet brown patina with green and red overtones. The metal with minor surface scratches, minor wear, and light oxidation typical with aging of this material. With minor areas of wear to the patina, concentrated to the harp. With period socket and updated G.E. paddle switch. Presents well and ready for display.
Please note that while the lamp appears to be in working condition, Christie’s does not guarantee the functionality of the electrical components.
