拍品的状况可能存在极大差异，而由于其性质使然，拍品难以处于完美无瑕的状态。拍品均以拍卖时的状况出售。

Overall good condition with scattered scratches and abrasions consistent with age and use. Bronze presents with rubbing and minor soiling. One sconce with scattered deeper scratches to the patinated bronze, (largest is less than ¹⁄₈ in.) only visible upon closer inspection. Bronze presents with scattered irregularities inherent in the making and minor oxidation in places, typical with aging of this material. The polished bronze extremity of one has been professionally reattached to its patinated rod. Presents well, ready for use and display.

Please note that while the sconces appear to be in working condition, Christie’s does not guarantee the functionality of the electrical components.
