Condition
In overall stable and ready to hang condition. There are a few panels of broken glass that are retained and in place. There are four 1 inch holes (two on each end) on the short ends of the glass box that are likely inherent to the design. Dust, debris and some paint flakes present to the interior that can be cleaned out. The metal lid is tarnished but largely free of rust. The screws that hold the shade closed are present and stable, and the hinge mechanism works well. This lot has not been tested for electricity but was in working order in the previous residence. Houses ten bulbs internally. Height with chain is 28 inches.
