Cord has an inline on/off switch. There is a circle of capiz shell edged in brass that fits over the circular opening in the bottom of the sphere. Simply push it aside when you want to put your hand in to change lightbulb. Condition: Overall very good condition.
No breaks or holes to capiz shell. Brass fitter at top has light oxidation from age, but still looks good. The cord and chain show age related dirt/dust.
I personally like the aged finish to the chain as the newer ones tend to be a bit shiny for my taste. But, to each his own.
