Overall in very good condition. The hand-wrought copper surfaces throughout the lantern and wall mount present with a beautifully aged patina and rich hammered texture with scattered light surface scratches, abrasions, some light surface soiling, and minor discolorations and wear, consistent with age and gentle handling. The original hammered glass with very minor scattered air bubbles, particulate inclusions and minor irregularities inherent to production. Sotheby's does not guarantee electrical components and suggests having all wiring inspected by a licensed electrician.
