Property from the Fred and Kay Krehbiel Collection, Part II

In overall fine, attractive condition. Numerous instances of flaking and loss to the gilt, with areas of explosed gesso and underlying wood. Some small sections of carved wood detail are lost. Scattered inactive wormholes throughout. Heavy rubbing to the red painting ot the standards where they insert into the bases. The ribbon which wraps around the standards is intact but loose and needs to be rewrapped. Each is fitted with a standard light socket, with wiring that runs along the outside of the standard; this has not been tested or inspected and will likely need replacement. The glass panes are modern replacements. One example with a cracked pane of glass with a section missing; another segment with its glass pane entirely missing. Other panes are slightly loose/ajar in their fittings. Both finials are detached but present, and can be placed atop the lanterns but would need additional hardware to be secured in place.

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.
