Provenance: The Estate of Camille & Raymond Hankamer, Houston, Texas.

Both are in good overall condition. No visible losses or repairs. They are wired for electricity and a hole has been drilled through each bobeshe in order to access the sockets. They appear to retain their original gilded surface with light rubbing from age. They exhibit a nice patina.
