The shade with approximately 6 hairline cracks dispersed throughout, stable. The shade with some traces of surface soiling concentrated to the contours adjacent to the leadlines, consistent with age. The base displays a warm brown patina and presents with scattered minor surface scratches and abrasions and occasional minor discolorations throughout consistent with age and gentle use. The electrical conversion (comprising the socket cluster and stem that adapt the oil canister for electricity) appear to be a later reproduction. With period sockets.
