Palm Beach Furniture and Decorative Arts

The box is in good condition for its' age and use. Two jasperware plaques are cracked, on in the front/middle of the lid, the other on the rear.
The small lock that holds the lower writing surface is missing an original screw and the replacement is not long enough. There is a small piece of veneer missing from the rounded edge on the back of the lid, with a matching crack on the other side, possibly due to how it rests when open. All of the fittings are complete.

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.
