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 in good condition. The rock crystal with scattered nicks, scratches, natural inclusions, and 'nibbling' to the edges. One with a large chip to one of the reel form components. The rock crystal components slightly loose around the central column and able to spin, but secure. The gilt-metal with some general wear, rubbing, and surface dirt as to be expected. The fabric shades with some minor surface dust and a few minor stains. Possibly lacking securing components for the shade from top of fitment. Wired for electricity. Please note that Christie's does not guarantee the working order of electrical items.
