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.

These impressive candelabra are in overall good condition.
There are the inevitable dents, marks, scratches and wear consistent with age and use.
The ormolu to both is slightly tarnished with some minor areas of verdigris and a build up of dust and wax to the crevices.
One candelabra with a leaf missing just above the putto's hand. One tulip nozzle is also a later replacement. This candelabra also has three small casting flaws visible to the right hand side. The base has a small crack to the right side.
The other candelabra has a small split to one leaf.
Otherwise in good order and ready to use.
