The Donald F. Moylan, M.D. Collection of American Furniture, Folk & Decorative Arts, Part I

In overall fine and stable condition. Appears to retain the original snipe hinges and rich, historic surface.  Scuffs, marks, scratches and rubbing to paint consistent with age and use. The pulls appear to be original, though it is possible they are early replacements. Age cracks visible in areas. Residue visible to the surface.  Old numbers inscribed in red chalk to the leftmost panel of the front. Areas of chip losses to the molding around the drawer and one larger loss to the proper right side of the lid where it meets the hinges. 

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.
