Additional Notes & Condition Report
Glass Shades: each of the four shades appear to be in generally good condition: no apparent hairline cracks, chips, etc.; there are perhaps a few very small, minor and inconsequential fleabite-size nicks to some of the fitter rim areas; the shades appear to be a nicely matched set; there are, however, slight variations to the shades, including more straight versus more diagonal orientation to the ribbed decoration, deeper coloration and iridescence to two of the shades (i.e., stronger deep pink, blue and metallic green highlights), etc.
Metal Sconces: each appears to be in generally good condition; each sconce retains its two original G.E. CO. black plastic on/off switches; each shade is held into place with three metal ball screws and each of these screws is present and appears to be original (total of 12); each fixture has a uniform mottled green and rust-orange/chocolate brown colored patina; some soiling, wear, etc., to the patina, consistent with age, usage and handling
