Condition
Overall in good condition. The metal frames possible with some evidence of over painting, and some minor surface scratches and rubbing. There is scattered rubbing and a few associated losses to the patination as seen in the catalogue illustration. The shades are later. The sconces are not presently wired for use, but there are wires to the reverse. Sotheby’s has not checked the pieces for electrical stability.
