拍品的状况可能存在极大差异，而由于其性质使然，拍品难以处于完美无瑕的状态。拍品均以拍卖时的状况出售。

Overall in good order and appearance, ready to use. The brass with the inevitable minor rubbing, scuffing, and oxidation throughout. Minor accretions in crevices. Some of the adjustable elements now stuck. One shade stamped 'MILLER & SON / 179 PICCADILLY' to exterior. The stamped shade loose and slightly tilted. One shade on second lamp stamped 'MILLER & SON / 179 PICCADILLY' to interior, this shade missing a screw, would benefit from stabilization. Both lamps externally wired for electricity. Both bases covered with felt. Not examined beneath the felt.
