About Lee Calicchio:
As the owner of Lee Calicchio Ltd., Lee cultivated a reputation for discerning taste and a keen eye for design that stands the test of time. She is a connoisseur with a passion for preserving craftsmanship for future generations to appreciate. With a focus on Neoclassical furnishings, from French to English, Italian to Continental, her collection speaks to the beauty of classic design.
Lee's passion is evident everywhere in the collection. Each piece tells a story and adds sophistication to its space. Her commitment to quality and authenticity has earned her a faithful following among collectors and interior designers alike.
Another sequence of lots from the Collection of Lee Calicchio will be offered in our June 18 Palm Beach Treasures online-only auction.
The cabinet is in overall very sturdy structural condition with doors that close evenly and flush despite the locking bar mechanism having not been retained. The cabinet displays a dark, patinated finish with considerable craquelure over the elaborately decorated, incised panels which remain crisp. The finish displays numerous considerable chips and abrasions to the lacquer particularly around the edges and corners. The interior shelves are solid and sturdy. There is a long scratch to the door panel.
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.
