When illuminated, the lamp projects a kaleidoscope of intricate shapes and shadows on the wall, emanating from both the lampshade and the lamp base.

CONDITION

In very good condition with no dents or dings, no breaks, cracks or losses to the brass. The patina is mostly intact, although there are a few spots where it’s a bit lighter. There are a few light white deposits on the inside of the shade that are nearly invisible from the outside. These deposits most likely from light corrosion of the brass. The shade could use a good cleaning though to get rid of decades of dust. The wiring is good and has been tested. less
