In overall fine condition with signs of age and a few repairs needed. There are hinges in place on the trunk but they do not attach to the cover; new screws or entirely new hinges may be neede to attach the cover to the trunk. There is a section of wood detached from the front center at the base; it could likely be repaired with glue. There is an old age crack running the width of the cover; this has been repaired with a metal brace. Overall the structure is sound and the wood has a dark, evenly aged appearance throughout.
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.
