Palm Beach Furniture & Decorative Arts

Serial number 25689.
Overall, the piano presents well for its age, but there are several condition issues that should be noted.
The front left foot and front scrolled support leg have been damaged. The piano is lacking the rear left caster. The lacquer and boulle is crazed, flaking, and clouded in several significant areas throughout the piano case and there are corresponding losses to the boulle and lacquer. The bronze mount along the front of the key cover is loose and bent and there are other loose mounts in select areas throughout the case. 
The piano will need to be serviced/tuned.

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.
