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 pulls and lock mechanisms (lacking key). Retaining a fairly even patina throughout, though there is a dark square to the top, likely due to the placement of a lamp or other object that allowed for the surface to remain its original color. Scuffs, marks and scratches consistent with age and use.  Smooth drawer action. One drawer pull is lacking from the second drawer from the top. Few age cracks throughout. Drawers runners show wear, but could be early replacements.  The proper back right foot facing is patched, about 4” from the base. Two of the corner blocks from the underside are lacking.

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.
