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 with light surface scratches and minor wear commensurate with age and gentle use. The wooden base presents with light discoloration, scratches, wear, and edge chips. The back edges with minor white paint residue. The wooden inserts have come loose, the smaller ones with adhesive residue on the backs. With period socket and Bryant paddle switch.

The leaded glass shade with light surface dirt and light surface scratches. The glass presents with minute inclusions and scattered air bubbles inherent in the making. The metal surfaces with minor wear and scattered areas of light oxidation, typical with aging of this material. Some joints possibly resoldered, stable. The shade with slight warping, presenting slightly askew.

Please note that while the lantern appears to be in working condition, Christie’s does not guarantee the functionality of the electrical components.
