European Furniture and Decorative Arts

The draw leaves are not presently in working condition. The leaves stick due to the expansion and contraction of the wood. The top has a separation from shrinkage between the outer board and the inner section. Two small patched areas on the top and a larger patched area at one end. Worming, water stains, fading, and discolorations throughout. Two of the feet are more wormed than the other two, possibly 19th century replacements. Two of the twist carved legs are also possibly replacements. The drawer pulls significantly old, but replaced, with visible plugs next to them. One drawer is false.

The leaves extend from the short sides of the table. Each adds 38 inches in length. The provided dimensions are the closed dimensions. The front of the table with the inlaid initials and date.

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.
