Condition Report:
Overall in very good condition. The lead presents with scattered surface scratches, abrasions, areas of discoloration, traces of oxidation and tarnish throughout consistent with age. The frosted glass shades present with scattered surface scratches and light scuffing throughout as well as a few minute chips concentrated to the edges, not visually distracting. One shade with a more pronounced chip measuring approximately ¼ in., not visible when the shade is installed. The lacquered bases are in excellent condition with light wear to the edges and corners and scuffing concentrated to where the lead balls are installed. Sotheby's does not guarantee electrical components and suggests having all wiring inspected by a licensed electrician.
