Condition report:
The brass-finished metal base exhibits significant surface tarnish, natural patina, and scattered spots of green oxidation, particularly around the foot (photo 1). The leaded cames of the shade show age-related oxidation and a dull finish (photo 1). The lavender slag glass panels and the opalescent glass fount appear intact with no visible cracks, chips, or repairs (photo 1). The white electrical cord is tangled and shows minor surface soiling (photo 2). The lamp is sold as untested and professional rewiring is recommended for all vintage lighting.
