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, sound condition and ready to place. The ormolu with the expected light rubbing. One slightly smaller measuring 191⁄2 in. high, and with slightly lower candelarms due to repair to boss. The taller example with an old glue repair to the base where it meets the ormolu stem. The glass droplets with some later replacements and some lacking, and with some small 'nibbles' to the holes where the pins enter, only visible on very close examination. Some of the drip pans hang very slightly unevenly. Generally with very small 'nibbles' to glass, not extensive. Variations on levels of hanging glass beads.
