Not wired for electricity. One chandelier with four of its candle cups damaged. There are pegs and holes suggesting there were once tole floriform drip pans on each of the cups, but all except two of the floriform elements are missing. Those two are present but detached. The giltwood elements with some age cracks, chips and flaking gilt. Dusty patina. Sturdy overall and could be hung for use. Some prisms probably replaced.

The other chandelier in similar condition, but with more of its candle cups intact. Two are held together with cardstock paper and painters tape. A section of the baluster standard missing from a large chip. Dusty. No floriform elements are present. Additional photos available upon request.

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.
