Condition
Illustration is not so accurate, these wall lights look better in reality.
Unusual model, with a nice chasing.
Gilding has been cleaned up and carefully retouched. Very tiny stains and traces of oxidation, very little wear on the more exposed areas.
The nozzles were formerly pierced for electricity; the holes have been filled in since.
Very beautiful pair of wall lights in good condition.
