Design

There are small instances to both shades where the molded plastic has partially melted, likely due to use with the wrong type of lightbulb. One shade exhibits multiple spots where the plastic has melted all the way through, resulting in holes; these are in the recessed grooves between lobes, so they are not immediately noticeable, but can be seen from above. The melt damage to the other shade is only visible from underneath. Otherwise stable and attractive condition, with minor scuffs from occasional use and handling. Both lamps telescope up and down smoothly, but one lamp will not stay raised on its own. The wiring has not been inspected but it presumed to be working.

The physical condition of lots in our auctions can vary due to age, normal wear and tear, previous damage, and restoration/repair. All lots are sold "AS IS," in the condition they are in at the time of the auction, and we and the seller make no representation or warranty and assume no liability of any kind as to a lot's condition. Any reference to condition in a catalogue description or a condition report shall not amount to a full accounting of condition. Condition reports prepared by Freeman's staff are provided as a convenience and may be requested from the Department prior to bidding.

The absence of a posted condition report on the Freeman's website or in our catalogues should not be interpreted as commentary on an item's condition. Prospective buyers are responsible for inspecting a lot or sending their agent or conservator to inspect the lot on their behalf, and for ensuring that they have requested, received and understood any condition report provided by Freeman's.
