Condition Report

Overall, these lights are in highly presentable condition, especially considering their age and years of use. As expected with original period metalwork, some areas show natural tarnishing and wear, which sits comfortably with their authenticity. The frames remain solid and secure, with no movement or structural loss. The opaline glass plates slide out smoothly, and each lantern has been recently rewired for modern use with three‑core flex cable.
