Palm Beach Furniture & Decorative Arts

The set is monogrammed PYD throughout. It is overall in very good condition, carefully stored by the owner, and seems to have been seldom used. There are very light surface scratches to select articles throughout the set; the surface scratches do not detract from the presentation and are consistent with normal light use. 
The bowl of 1 teaspoon has minor residue, possibly from coffee or tea; 4 cream soup spoons have minor tarnish to the bowls; select salad forks have minor tarnish; 1 salad fork with a bent tine; 2 place soup spoons with minor tarnish to the bowls; 1 place soup spoon with a bent handle.

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.
