In overall good and stable condition. Retaining an even, mellow patina and finish. Few scuffs, marks or scratches consistent with age and use. Few age cracks visible throughout. The central cupboard interior inscribed in chalk Mary Briggs. Few minor patches to the veneer throughout. Drawer pulls appear to be original, though the escutcheons likely had a brass surround that is no longer present, with small patches visible wear the nails would have held them in place. Retains a functioning key, though likely a replacement. Lock mechanisms appear to be original, though might need some work to be properly functional.

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.
