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。

In very good overall condition consistent with age. The shade with remarkably very few noticeable cracks. Leading exhibits a warm reddish/brown patina with hints of green. There is some minor wear to aperture rim. The base is also in good condition. The patina is a bit rubbed with unobtrusive darkened areas, primarily around the foot, commensurate with age and use. Lacks base plate. Light surface dirt throughout. With Perkins switches and original finial. Rewired.

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.
