CONDITION DETAILS

Two minor chips to upper rim of shade are not significant; otherwise in good condition; base is adjustable to 22” or so; ten-paneled shade is etched with three butterflies and a dragonfly; needs rewiring; please note that the shade on this lamp was inadvertently also photographed fitted to the floor lamp (lot 163) – that floor lamp actually has a very similar shade with 18 flutes and a few more bugs
