Condition report
A Christie's specialist may contact you to discuss this lot or to notify you if the condition changes prior to the sale.
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 very good condition. The glass with very light surface scratches commensurate with age and gentle use. Some tiles with light surface residue from a prior adhesive label. One wall light with one glass tile to the back plate with several very minute edge chips (each less than 1⁄4 in.) and subsequently is slightly loose, would benefit from professional treatment and not visible when mounted. The gilt bronze surfaces with minor wear and light oxidation typical with aging of this material. Some bronze elements are slightly loose at joins. Presents well and ready for display.
Please note that while the wall lights appear to be in working condition, Christie’s does not guarantee the functionality of the electrical components.
