(pair) Large Neoclassical style bronze dore 'Versailles' lanterns, with etched and beveled glass panels, in need of wiring, approx 47"h, 17"diam

9.4.25 - In my opinion regarding LOT 3343: As described the fixtures are in need of wiring, I note that both lanterns are structurally secure, all glass panes remaining securely encased within framing, the panels granting interior access remains tight on hinges and operates smoothly, the ormolu exhibits some sparse, minute pitting, retaining an overall uniform, warm tone throughout, also having a very sparse amount of light abrasions and small nicks commensurate with use, one lantern with a couple of minute chips to edges of glass panes (see image), both lanterns with a minute rough lower edge of glass that is slightly visible from exterior (see image), roughness likely related to rubbing against the metal frame but overall very minor
