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 sound condition and ready to place. The ormolu with typical light scattered rubbing, verdigris, difference in coloration and areas of tarnish. With some surface abrasions, areas of putting and some casting imperfections, as to be expected. One example with more verdigris than other particularly along the base, within the crevices of the lion's faces. Two arms on one torchere with soldered repairs at the base. Wired for electricity. Please note Christie's does not guarantee the working order of lighting.
