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 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.
