Additional Notes & Condition Report
Glass Shade: there is a small shallow flake loss to the exterior side of the fitter rim area of the shade, approximately one-half inch in length; the glass in this area is now somewhat "rough" to the touch; the roughness/flake loss at the fitter is not evident when the domed metal cap mount is in place, and therefore this matter is not of great consequence; there are a few scattered internally trapped air bubbles (not burst), at the surface of the glass, as made, not of any consequence; the shade gives a nice bell-tone resonance when it is gently struck; no apparent hairline cracks to the shade; opal lining (interior side)
Base: there is general light wear/rubbing, some scattered spot staining and some scratches to the gilt patina, consistent with age and usage; there is some green mildewing located at the top part of the shaft; no apparent flaking or loss to the pink/mauve colored enameling that decorates the foot; lamp has been rewired; the wiring and light socket were not tested
Any condition statement is given as a courtesy to a client, is an opinion and should not be treated as a statement of fact and Doyle New York shall have no responsibility for any error or omission.
