Condition report:
The porcelain bodies of the ceramic lamps appear to be in good physical condition with no visible chips, cracks, or repairs. There is minor surface rubbing and light wear to the gilt decoration across both pieces. The brass column lamp shows visible surface tarnish and oxidation, particularly towards the tiered base (photo 2). All electrical components are modern but remain untested for safety; professional inspection is recommended before use.
