The pair appearing in fairly good condition. Each having small instances of flaking and loss to the gilt decoration revealing the wood beneath. There are a few sections where the carved wood has broken off and is lost. The vitrines are hinged at the bottom, with hook and eye closures at the top. One of the vitrines with the door loose on the hinge and sitting slightly out of alignment not allowing for the secure closure of the vitrine; would benefit from repair prior to hanging. Additional images are available upon request.

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.
