Condition report
A Christie's specialist may contact you to discuss this lot or to notify you if the condition changes prior to the sale.
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 scattered scratches and abrasions consistent with age and use. Leather presents with light wear and minor surface scratches, commensurate with age. One lamp presents with three indentations to the leather, not visually distracting. Brass rings with light tarnishing, as to be expected from age. Each lamp presents with small white paint splatters to the base, not visually distracting. The lamps have probably been re-wrapped at some point in their history. Presents well, ready for use and display.
Please note that while the lamps appear to be in working condition, Christie’s does not guarantee the functionality of the electrical components.
