Condition Report

The base is very sturdy and has a rich patina throughout. There are some scuffs and minor scratches, resulting in minor loss to the patina in a few areas. The cap and finial appear to be original. The shade is likely not original to the base; its exact age and origin are unknown (it is unsigned) but it is likely newer than the base. The painting to the interior is attractive and retains rich color. There are a few areas of paint loss, primarily where it rests on top of the lamp base and has rubbed off from contact. The lamp contains three standard sockets, each with a pull-chain. All in apparent good, working order. Internal wiring has not been inspected but is presumably in good condition. Cord ends in a standard US two-prong plug.
