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 commensurate with age and use. The shade is in excellent condition, with only one or two cracked pieces of glass. The base has a greenish patina with some areas of wear on the top surface. One small screw missing from base plate on underside. Bronze heat cap appears to be old and original to the lamp. The lamp has been rewired (US plug).

The condition of lots sold can vary widely due to factors such as age, previous damage, restoration, repair, and wear and tear. The nature of the lots sold means that they will rarely be in perfect condition. Lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale.
