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.

Good overall condition.
The piece displays minor soiling, light scratches and some wear to the surfaces' finish, all commensurate with age and normal use. Traces of oxidation along some areas of abrasion, the metal surfaces probably varnished at a certain stage. A few dents and very light bending to the metal. The rhodoid shade with important soiling, coming unstuck along the seams, with stains, discolorations and creasing. The shade slightly uneven and would benefit to be replaced. The later electrical fitting in working order. A piece of leather added to the underside of the base. Please note that while the lamp appears to be in working condition, Christie’s does not guarantee the functionality of the electrical components.
