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 in sound condition and ready to place. The rock crystal with natural inclusions, scattered surface scratches, and light abrasions. The silvered metal with tarnish and oxidation, some pieces slightly bent out of form. The corner of one base split and lifting slightly. The wooden base with some rubbing to silvered decoration and some small chipped losses. One lamp now lacking harp. Please note Christie's does not guarantee the working order of lighting.
