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 good condition commensurate with age and use. The four glass shades present with an iridized surface in pale yellow and lavender tones when unlit. When illuminated, the shades express luminous yellow to amber hues. The glass shades are unmarked. The glass surfaces with light scratches and minor wear concentrated to the mouth rim where the metal hardware rests. Two shades with minute chips (largest 1⁄4 in.) along the mouth rim, not visible when set in place. The base with a reddish-brown patina with scattered areas of green undertones. The metal surfaces with light surface scratches, minor wear, minor nicks, and scattered areas of light oxidation. One arm with restoration, stable. The sockets and paddle switches appear to be period, yet replaced. Three paddle switches marked GECO, one marked BRYANT.
Please note that although the lamp appears to be in working condition, Christie’s does not guarantee the functionality of the electrical components.
