拍品的状况可能存在极大差异，而由于其性质使然，拍品难以处于完美无瑕的状态。拍品均以拍卖时的状况出售。

This lantern is in overall very good and ready to place condition.
The ormolu with some traces of tarnish to the crevices, as to be expected.
The molded glass with a few natural inclusions. The lower section with small shallow chip, approx ¹⁄₄ in. diameter. The interior with traces of cleaning residue.
Electrical components appear to be complete but must be reconditioned prior to use, regardless of whether the lot is shown lit or in working condition in the catalogue. We strongly advise that the item is reconditioned by an appropriately qualified electrician. The wires to this lantern have been cut and will require replacing.
