Generally good vintage condition with surface wear and minor losses to the gilded finish consistent with age and use. The faceted glass droplets appear to be present. The lamp is fitted with a modern plug and cord; however, all electrical items are sold as untested. It is recommended that the buyer has the item inspected and tested by a qualified electrician before use. One light bulb is currently fitted.
