European Furniture and Decorative Arts

Finish is shiny and even overall. Two age splits on the top surface. Several filled repairs around the edge of the top. The flip-top sits slightly askew when closed. The top overall is loose, with bolts needing to be tightened, therefore, conservation is recommended before use of the opened writing surface. Cracks in veneer around edges of the top, and veneer has been re-attached in the front proper right corner. The base and legs are sturdy. Additional images 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.
