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, decorative condition. With typical rubbing, tarnish, and oxidation to the ormolu. With some further light surface wear including minor scratches and pitting, probably from the making. With some wax residue on the bobeches and drip pans. The parts variously incised with numbers; the backplate with incised numbers as well. One example with old paper sticker to the back 'Cook / 16-4'. Some of the candle arms slightly loose, may benefit from resecuring. As stated, electrified. Please note Christie's does not guarantee the working order of lighting.
