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 shades present with very few surface irregularities, a few minute inclusions, and scattered minor air bubbles inherent in the making. The glass with light surface scratches, minor wear, and dirt to recessed areas. One glass protrusion with a minor crack, stable and only visible upon very close inspection. The period European mounts with a gilt finish. The metal surfaces with light scratches, minor wear, abrasions, and scattered areas of light oxidation typical with aging of this material. With period sockets. An attractive pair, ready for display and use. Please note that while the sconces appear to be in working condition, Christie’s does not guarantee the functionality of the electrical components.
