European Furniture and Decorative Arts

The diorama appears in overall good, stable, and ready to hang condition. The shadow box frame has a few small areas of adhesive residue where the glass meets the wood. There is a small crack in the glass in the upper right hand corner. The birds and the other elements within the diorama are in good condition and are sturdy and intact within the frame. There are a few discolored areas along the backboard of the diorama, possibly from contact with humidity. There are two loops at the top of the box by which the diorama could be hung. 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.
