Overall in very good condition. The glass surfaces present with a few very minor particulate inclusions and surface irregularities, all of which is inherent to the making and only visible upon very close inspection. The glass also with a few very light scuffs and fine surface scratches, along with a couple very minute flecks, concentrated to the area where the clear glass meets the wall mount, stable and not visible when the fixtures are installed. The nickel-plated brass is in overall very good condition and presents with a few minor scuffs and fine surface scratches, slight abrasions, minor rubbing and minor oxidation, all of which is commensurate with age and use and does not detract 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.
