Great shape overall, especially considering their age of over 140 years old. Working as they should. Beautiful, warm, nicely aged patina over the whole. Age appropriate wear, highly desirable rustic distressed, heavily patinated original finish, evidence of past repairs, all consistent with age and use, adding to the rich antique character, sophisticated charm and historical authenticity. Moderately restored and professionally electrified / converted from candle to modern electric light bulb in the mid-century. Delicate / fairly fragile by design. Overall excellent shape, ready for immediate use, and many years of generational enjoyment!
