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 good condition and ready to place. The ormolu with typical light rubbing, some tarnish and oxidation. Each square base with further surface wear and some discoloration. The swan handles on one example very slightly loose. The porcelain with light surface scratching and very minor surface abrasion. One example with a small flat chip to the upper rim near the collar mount. Drilled and wired for electricity. Please note Christie's does not guarantee the working order of lighting.
