European Furniture & Decorative Arts

One foot detached but present, in need of repai (needs to be re-attached). It appears that some other feet may have similliarly previously been detached and repaired. The two tables have slight variations in carving including to the top-most section of fluting on the legs and the floral medallions. The paint and gilt decoaration have retouch throughout. The marble tops differ in color slightly--one off-white, the other a brighter white--and both with surface scratches visible in raking light; neither show cracks or other signs of damage in situ. There are scattered surface marks and scratches, instances of loss to gesso and a section of loss around the top of one leg (just beneath the fluted section). Additional images available upon request.

Condition reports are available upon request. All lots are sold “as is,” in the condition they are in at the time of the auction. The physical condition of lots can vary due to age, normal wear and tear, previous damage, and restoration. Prospective buyers are strongly advised to inspect a lot personally or through a knowledgeable representative prior to bidding. The absence of any reference to the condition of a lot does not imply that the lot is in perfect condition or completely free from wear and tear, imperfections, or the effects of aging. Prospective buyers must review and agree to the Conditions of Sale before participating in an auction, and it is the responsibility of the buyer to ensure that they have requested, received and considered any condition report.

The physical condition of lots in our auctions can vary due to age, normal wear and tear, previous damage, and restoration/repair. All lots are sold "AS IS," in the condition they are in at the time of the auction, and we and the seller make no representation or warranty and assume no liability of any kind as to a lot's condition. Any reference to condition in a catalogue description or a condition report shall not amount to a full accounting of condition. Condition reports prepared by Freeman's staff are provided as a convenience and may be requested from the Department prior to bidding.

The absence of a posted condition report on the Freeman's website or in our catalogues should not be interpreted as commentary on an item's condition. Prospective buyers are responsible for inspecting a lot or sending their agent or conservator to inspect the lot on their behalf, and for ensuring that they have requested, received and understood any condition report provided by Freeman's.
