American Furniture, Folk & Decorative Arts

Secondary wood: White pine
In overall fair and stable condition.  Scuffs, marks and scratches consistent with age and use.  Refinished surface, but retaining a fairly even color to the case and darker color to the base. The back board is more faded in color due to exposure to the elements. The pulls, while seemingly of the period, are replaced.  Age cracks visible with some areas of associated veneer lifting, cracking and loss.  Casters replaced.  The top drawer previously compartmented, but the dividers are no longer present. There are two areas of discoloration with possible patches to the rear edge of the top, likely something previously fitted that is no longer present.  The vertical supports appear reglued at the underside.

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.
