3.9.25-In my opinion regarding LOT: 3372- we always suggest rewiring as while these have been wired to US standard, we do not know the condition or state of the wiring, and as described two sockets are lacking candle covers, most sockets need being secured, they lean/are loose, both bronze frames exhibits only minor mellowing and light rubs, Wedgwood plaques are intact and visible surfaces are free of noted chips, cracks or restoration, I note only some light grime, no major loss observed
