Condition

This work is in good condition and the electrical components are in good working order. Evidence of white accretion observed outer edge of the back glass of both lights, possibly due to abrasion when lights are installed on the wall. Minor chip to the outer edge and inner concave edge of the frontal piece of glass of both lights are visible only upon close inspection. A small screw on the underside of the brass element is missing from one of the pair of lamps. The lamp is electrically stable. All aforementioned condition issues are consistent with age and use of the work.
