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。

In fairly good condition overall.
The gilt-bronze with some tarnishing, pitting and rubbing.
Heavy build up of dirt and dust to the casting crevices.
The drops with some minor knocks and nibbles.
Central spire to one with old glued repair.
Replacements to the drops throughout.
Several of the wired drops loose and would benefit from securing.
Electrical components appear to be complete but must be reconditioned prior to use, regardless of whether the lot is shown lit or in working condition in the catalogue. We strongly advise that the item is reconditioned by an appropriately qualified electrician prior to any intended use.
