品相
Overall in very good condition. The glass surfaces present with a few minor scuffs and fine surface scratches, commensurate with age and use and none of which is visually distracting. Each sconce with one very minor fleck to a corner, one of which appears to have been ground down, both of which are only visible upon very close inspection. The brass surfaces present with minor age- and use-related wear, including a few minor scuffs and fine surface scratches, minor abrasions, light discolorations and minor paint losses along the interior perimeter where the frosted glass meets the brass, none of which is visually distracting. The surfaces also with a few minor spots of oxidation, inherent to the material’s aging process and none of which detracts from the overall presentation. Please note Sotheby's does not guarantee the functionality and/or the voltage compatibility for electrical wiring, and suggests having all electrical components inspected by a licensed electrician.
