Overall good condition commensurate with use. The plaster presents with light soiling and very minor wear. One lamp with two minor vertical abrasions (lines) (one approximately 1⁄2 in. and the other 1⁄4 in.) along the lower stem, only visible upon very close inspection; and lacking one screw for glass diffuser. The other lamp with a line around the circumference of the central stem with minute consequential losses (largest 1⁄4 in.); with a point of impact and consequential flaking to the top of the base (1⁄4 x 11⁄2 in.); and a surface flake loss to the top of the base (1 x 3⁄4 in.). The glass diffusers in good condition, each with vertical folds in the glass inherent in the making. One with two stress cracks to the bottom rim (approximately 3⁄8 in.) where the metal hardware rests and one curved crack (approximately 4 in.) along the mid body, not visible when set in place. The shades with light surface soiling and very few scattered minute spots of discoloration. With scattered lines of undulation and wear to the paper. One shade with a minute tear where the leather is stitched along the top rim (approximately 1⁄4 in.), only visible upon close inspection. Presents well and ready for display.
Please note that while the lamps appear to be in working condition, Christie’s does not guarantee the functionality of the electrical components.
