European Furniture and Decorative Arts

Overall stable condition and ready to place. The clock appearing to run when the pendulum is set in motion, but the pins seem to be overwound and it has not been tested for timekeeping accuracy. The hands can be manually advanced and the hammer strikes the chime at the hour and half-hour marks. The porcelain attractive overall, with a few small chips and losses, as well as some areas of repair. The female figure seated at the top and the male figure to the left of the clock face both have old restored breaks to their feet. A section of the base is broken off but present and could be reattached. Minor chips to the edges of the sculpted floral decorations, as is typical.

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.
