The frosted clear glass shade with the lamp is beautifully and unusually textured with a striking ripple pat...tern that gently diffuses the light from within.
The lamp has been refitted with a vintage-style E27 Edison Screw Bakelite bulb-holder, and has been wired with a generous length of premium vintage-style Italian-made twisted cable with a period-sympathetic mottled brown cotton braid.Condition Report: Light wear to the metal, otherwise in excellent condition.
