Condition Report:
Very good overall condition. This rare lamp presents with an exceptional subtle cloudy dark-green enameled patina. Scattered hairline scratches mainly located on the base, but not visually distracting. Tiny chips located on the underside of the edge of the base are inherent to the manufacturing process. Sotheby's does not guarantee electrical components and suggests having all wiring inspected by a licensed electrician.
