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 hang. With the expected scattered rubbing, oxidation and faint verdigris to the ormolu and gilt-metal. The glass droplets with some nicks and 'nibbles' to the extreme edges, as to be expected. Overall with some droplets lacking and others replaced. The opaline glass body with some faint surface scratching. Some of the candlearms and the spires slightly out of round, but stable. Wired for electricity, and the drip pans drilled. Please note Christie's does not guarantee the working order of lighting.
