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 a few light surface scratches and very minor wear commensurate with age and use. The leather with some scattered areas of discoloration and minor surface abrasions. The leather has worn variably over time, commensurate with normal aging of this material. Some leather elements possibly re-wrapped but well matched. The brass elements with very light oxidation typical with aging of this material. The electrical stem and sockets appear to have been updated at some point in the history of the piece. One lamp with minor residue where the socket cluster meets the stem, not visible when shade is set in place. The updated shades in very good condition with minute scattered areas of discoloration and minor impressions to the paper, only visible upon very close inspection.
One lamp with auction sticker Wright 7 October 2007, lot 277.
Please note that while the lamps appear to be in working condition, Christie’s does not guarantee the functionality of the electrical components.
