Overall good condition with minor scuffs and darkening/oxidation to bronze commensurate with age. Scattered minor rubbed wear and losses to the gilding. Several of the faux candles have come unglued and are no longer mounted in their respective holder bases. The finial at the base is slightly bent. Wiring should be checked by a qualified electrician prior to use. Moran's does not guarantee the working condition of electronic equipment. Condition reports are offered as a courtesy and are typically published in Moran's catalogue or can be made available upon request. The absence of a condition report does not imply that an item is free from defects or restoration, nor does a reference to particular defects imply the absence of others. Buyers are responsible for determining to their own satisfaction the true nature and condition of any lot prior to bidding. Though buyers are not legally required to inspect lots prior to purchase, failure to do so may constitute a waiver of complaint that an item was not delivered in a condition equal to the existent condition at the auction.
