Pair of 'Chain Mail' Sconces, circa 1910

The condition of lots can vary widely and the nature of the lots sold means that they are unlikely to be in a perfect condition. Lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale.

Overall good condition with light surface scratches and minor wear commensurate with age and gentle use. The 'Chain Mail' shades present with a subtle gradient of mottled olive green to pale yellowish-white tiles. The glass presents with surface irregularities, minute inclusions, and scattered air bubbles inherent in the making. The glass with light surface scratches, minor wear, and dirt to recessed areas. The glass tiles with very minute edge chips to some only visible from the back. The metal rims with a russet brown patina with green overtones. One shade with more pronounced oxidation to the top beaded border. The bases present with a brown patina with green overtones. The metal surfaces with light scratches, minor wear, abrasions, and scattered areas of light oxidation typical with aging of this material. The sockets appear to be original with GE Co. paddle switches. One socket with a replaced collar.

Please note that while the sconces appear to be in working condition, Christie’s does not guarantee the functionality of the electrical components.
