LATE 19TH / EARLY 20TH CENTURY

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.

Present well overall. Some rubbing and slight tarnishing to the ormolu as to be expected with age. Both vases have been broken through the neck, restored and sprayed concealing the damage. One example then has an associated hairline crack running down the vase from the handle.
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 prior to any intended use.
For further information on this lot, please contact the sale coordinator, Alasdair Young on alyoung@christies.com.
