Condition
In overall good condition. The candelabra are lacking five glass pendant strands. The gilt-bronze arms
exhibit some light oxidation. Bronze figural standards have a few scattered faint nicks, surface scratches,
rubbing to patination and areas of abrading. Scattered whitish accretions and some soiling in more deeply
modeled areas. Edges of self-bases with a few small nicks - all of which are consistent with age, material
and usage. The bottom edges and undersides of the marble pedestals have some scattered chips and
losses that are not readily visible. All consistent with age, material and usage. The torcheres are electrified
and are in working order.
NOTE: The bronze bases have cast signatures: "Causse", after Julien Causse.
