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.

In good overall condition. The ormolu with some minor surface scratches, casting flaws, verdigris and rubbing, as to be expected. Some of the chain elements are lacking hooks; still secure. The glass with minor wear and deterioration to the decorations. The glass in good overall condition, with a few scattered 'nibbles', nicks and small chips to the edges, particularly to the main bowl which are not visible when placed. Ready to hang. Later wired for electricity. Please note that Christie's does not guarantee the working order of lighting.
