These impressive lanterns are in good overall condition. There are the inevitable marks, scratches and areas of tarnishing due to age and use. Two figures to both lanterns are missing their swords. There is a light build up of dust to the crevices. Previously with glass panels, now lacking. Structurally sound and ready to hang.
