Condition

Good overall condition. The alabaster shades appear to have been replaced at a later date and presents with a few rare and light surface scratches and a few rare and extremely tiny chips along the lower edges. There are more significant scratches and scuffs to the alabaster along the bronze stems, inherent to the installation and removal of the shades. The silvered bronze presents with scattered small scratches, a few tiny dents, very light surface soiling and some rare instances of light oxidation, all consistent with age and use. Sotheby's does not guarantee electrical components and suggests having all wiring inspected by a licensed electrician.
