拍品的狀況可能存在極大差異，而由於其性質使然，拍品難以處於完美無瑕的狀態。拍品均以拍賣時的狀況出售。

The website illustrations are accurate.
Good overall condition.
There are the inevitable minor dents, marks, scratches and rubbing consistent with age and use.
The right lower nozzle of one sconce is slightly bent. It is due to age and use and has to be checked by a restorer to correct the tilting.
Gilding : it is probably the original gilding. With some sign of tarnishing throughout and especially to the middle part of the stem, with minor losses especially to the middle part and to the drip pan. With traces of dirt especially to the birds.
No visible restoration.
