These lamps are in fairly good condition overall. There are the inevitable minor knocks, chips and losses overall consistent with age and use. One lamp is lacking the top section and is therefore slightly shorter than the other lamp. There are some patches of oxidization to the exposed metal areas. One with later light bulb fitment. As stated in the cataloguing these lamps and wired for electricity. As with all lighting, Christie's would recommend being installed and tested by a qualified electrician.
