The image is not accurate, it does not represent the correct pair. Good condition overall, despite some inevitable wear to the patina and a few spots of oxidation. The gilding is slightly rubbed on the more exposed areas. They are marked BY and B63 on the reverse. They were pierced for electricity (the electrical fitting has to be checked by a professional).
