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 sound condition and ready to place. The bronze with typical light rubbing, and with some light surface scratches. The ormolu with typical light rubbing and some oxidation. The lower finial on one example with significant verdigris around the upper rim. The other lower finial with a small hole as a result of a casting imperfection broken through. That same example with a small break to one of the frieze mounts, though stable. Drilled and wired for electricity. Please note Christie's does not guarantee the working order of lighting.
