05.12.25: In my opinion regarding LOT 2074: As described the fixture is in need of wiring, I note that the lamp is intact and stands sturdy, the porcelain and ormolu elements appearing securely joined, close visual and UV light examinations do not reveal hairlines/ fractures, evidence of restoration, or visible chipping (please note that I cannot examine rims that are obscured by metal lamp fittings), the painted and parcel-gilt decoration being overall well-preserved with a couple minute rubs commensurate with use, as well as some sparse minute iron pitting and glaze pops, the ormolu having light tonal variations association with spotting, mellowing, and patination commensurate with age
