Six-Light Chandelier, circa 1910

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 good condition with light surface scratches and minor wear commensurate with age and gentle use. The shades present with a warm amber tone while illuminated. One shade is Favrile Tiffany glass. Five shades are Quezal, four taller and one squatter. The glass presents with surface irregularities, minute inclusions, and scattered air bubbles inherent in the making. The glass with light surface scratches, minor wear, and dirt to recessed areas. The metal fixture with a black brown patina with green overtones. The chains and hanging balls appear to be original. The canopy appears to be original. With modern sockets. The central element with a modern ball replacement where a finial should be. The metal surfaces with light scratches, minor wear, abrasions, and scattered areas of light oxidation typical with aging of this material.

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