Dining at Home

Service appears in good, stable, usable condition. Approximately half of the items with light to moderate surface scratching throughout consistent with polishing and use, the other half with even lighter surface scratching suggesting less use. One fish knife with a few small spots of oxidation to end of handle and at hilt. A few of the table spoons with some scattered areas of slightly heavier surface scratching. Some of the fish forks with slightly bent handles, not noticeable unless stacked against each other. No evidence of monogram or monogram removal. The knives and some serving articles have stainless steel blades; these are excluded from the weight listed. Additional images available upon request.

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.
