Beyond a Cincinnati Legacy: The Collection of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Fleischmann III, Part I

In overall fine and stable condition. Retains a fairly even, early refinished surface and patina, with few areas of discoloration throughout. Scuffs, marks and scratches consistent with age and use.  Smooth drawer action. Areas of the veneer patched and cracked/reglued throughout, especially along the molded edges of drawers and slant-lid.  Areas of veneer lifting and cracking. The interior compartment dividers of the upper section are 20th century replacements. The proper left side cornice molding was previously detached, reglued and is now once again loose, with losses in the front corner where it meets the front molding. The upper case hangs slightly over the back of the lower case, suggesting these may be an early marriage.

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.
