05.30.24: In my opinion regarding LOT 2254: As described both are in need of wiring, I note that both vases are presently intact and securely fixed to stand, lamp socket fixtures appearing secure and displaying patination, both would benefit from a gentle cleaning to resolve the build up of dirt and debris commensurate with age, the gilt ground and enamel is well-retained, and UV light examination reveals hairlines throughout the white-ground foliate scene at the lower body, both are in need of wiring
