Condition

The illustration of the catalogue is accurate, but the size of the lanterns is more impressive in reality. The pair of lanterns has been re-lacquered. One circular element has been replaced to the upper part of both lanterns. There are minor losses to the metal, due to rust. As stated in the catalogue, two glasses of one lantern are broken. Please note that we do not guarantee that the electrical system is in working order, it has to be checked by a professional electrician.
