Each in good, stable condition overall. Each with light surface scratches to the rock crystal obelisks. Both examples wobble slightly. One malachite veneered base with two triangular areas of repair, each to a lower corner, together with a minor chip to one of the repaired corners. One with an area of minor wear and a minor chip to the underside of a corner. On one example, three of the four translucent orbs between the rock crystal obelisk and the malachite veneered base are loose. A yellow adhesive substance is visible within all of the translucent orbs.

The physical condition of lots in our auctions can vary due to age, normal wear and tear, previous damage, and restoration/repair. All lots are sold "AS IS," in the condition they are in at the time of the auction, and we and the seller make no representation or warranty and assume no liability of any kind as to a lot's condition. Any reference to condition in a catalogue description or a condition report shall not amount to a full accounting of condition. Condition reports prepared by Freeman's staff are provided as a convenience and may be requested from the Department prior to bidding.

The absence of a posted condition report on the Freeman's website or in our catalogues should not be interpreted as commentary on an item's condition. Prospective buyers are responsible for inspecting a lot or sending their agent or conservator to inspect the lot on their behalf, and for ensuring that they have requested, received and understood any condition report provided by Freeman's.
