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 good condition with light surface scratches and minor wear commensurate with age and gentle use. The metal surfaces with minor wear to the patina at high points and scattered areas oxidation, typical with aging of this material. Minor dirt concentrated to recessed areas. The five alabaster shades, likely original, with minor nicks and light scratches. Each alabaster shade with a ring of corrosion, concentrated to where a light source is emanating, as is common with this material when exposed to heat. One shade with an area of restoration (1 x 13⁄4 in.) near the metal mount. Another shade with a minor area (1⁄8 x 1⁄4 in.) of restoration near the top rim by the metal mount. Stone with fissures naturally occurring.
Please note that while the plafonnier appears to be in working condition, Christie’s does not guarantee the functionality of the electrical components.
Presents well and ready for display.
