Property from the Fred and Kay Krehbiel Collection, Part I

One mirror with part of an old label reading "LORD F." Both mirrors in sturdy, largely original, ready-to-hang condition. Professionally re-gilded and burnished in the 20th century. Mirror glasses show signs of age including a "glittery" appearance and areas of lost silver, but they may be replacements. One mirror with several visible fractures where a few sections of its crest were broken off and minimally repaired. There are slight separations faintly visible on the top border and the openwork crest of that mirror. One bird's body detached from the mirror along the seam where it was carved in two parts, needing minor repair. One bird with a couple of small chips and an area of lost gilt with exposed gesso. The back boards appear to be original. Museum putty where the porcelain vases were placed. With two custom-made crates for shipping. 

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.
