Condition Report:
Overall in very good condition. The gilt bronze surfaces in very good condition with scattered minor surface scratches, abrasions, and wear consistent with age and gentle handling. The outer perimeter of the foot with a small and shallow indentation, only visible upon close inspection. The favrile glass shades in very good condition with scattered minor air bubbles and particulate inclusions inherent in the making and not visually detractive. One shade with some minor traces of white house paint, only visible upon close inspection. Another shade has been restored by a professional glass conservator to stabilize an earlier restoration to a clean break emanating from the upper aperture of the shade, which is partially concealed when the shade is installed. With period porcelain sockets; one socket with a small loss to the porcelain.
