Lot 181

Generally in good condition consistent with age and use.

On one lamp, two of the applied lengths of chain connecting the wrists of putti figures to the loops at the neck of the cassolette are lacking (one of these losses being visible in the catalogue photo, on the lamp to the right).

To the arm of one putto figure there is a small irregularly shaped hole (approximately 3mm x 4mm) through the bronze, the nature of which is not clear; it appears to be of some age.

There is scattered light wear and superficial discolouration to the gilding on the bronze, most so around the lower parts; bumps and wear to the corners and edges of the marble plinths; and surface dirt to the marble generally, mostly accumulated in crevices in around the bronze mounts.

The shades are in good, clean condition.

The lamps appear to be in working order (the lights operate) but the condition of the electrical parts has not been assessed and should be inspected and tested by an electrician before connection to electricity supply.
