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. Shades have been historically re-lacquered. Each lacquered metal shade with a few scattered minor losses to the lacquer, not visually distracting. One black shade presents with air bubbles, some surface reaching, from a previous layer of lacquer. The other black shade with a few larger losses to the lacquer, revealing a lower layer of black lacquer, only visible upon close inspection. Green shade is slightly out of the round, only visible upon close inspection. Lacquered brass supports with heavy wear and scratches throughout, revealing raw brass. One brass ceiling plate with grey paint splatter. One ceiling plate is slightly out of round. Wood surfaces have been re-varnished. Wood supports with scattered minor abrasions and light wear, commensurate with normal use. A few small edge chips, and some with later infill, not visible when presented. Presents well, ready for use and display.
Please note that while the light appears to be in working condition, Christie’s does not guarantee the functionality of the electrical components.
