European Furniture and Decorative Arts

The desk is in two parts. The bronze has a very bright and shiny appearance and is not leafed. The veneer appears in overall good condition. The top is sun-faded. There is a bubble in the veneer on the proper right side and a few barely visible splits in the roll-top portion of the desk. The interior of the desk is in good condition with a few minor scuffs from use. The drawers open and close smoothly. There is no key. 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.
