American Furniture, Folk & Decorative Arts

In overall fine and stable condition. Retaining a rich patina throughout. The paint appears to be very early, if not original, there are old age cracks and associated losses in which there is a developed patina and lack of blue paint. However, the paint has not been chemically tested.  Scuffs, marks and scratches consistent with age and use, the top showing more wear than the case or legs. The top remains in place with four pegs, two at each side. Age cracks visible, but none that cause concern for the structural integrity. An old triangle patch visible to the top along the edge of one of the boards.

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.

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.
