Each in fair condition overall. One candlestick is loose where the socle meets the square base. The same candlestick with a chip to the underside of the drip pan and several repaired breaks to the square plinth. The other candlestick with scattered minor instances of surface loss and grime accumulation to the cornucopia form candle arm, along with a repaired break to the cornucopia. Evidence of surface wear surrounding the hems of both maidens' dresses. Examination under UV light causes the repaired breaks to fluoresce, as well as patches to one maiden's face, suggesting areas of retouch.

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.
