The etagere with scattered sections of loss to the gilt decoration revealing the gesso beneath. The painted shelves with wear and flaking to the paint consistent with age and use. The lowest shelf with age cracks. The lowest shelf also having a detached but present section of molding which could likely be re-attached. The mirror with oxidation to the silvering. The etagere wobbles on its legs and would benefit from repair prior to use. 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.
