European Furniture and Decorative Arts

Please note: this lot has been updated to reflect that this is a thermometer and barometer rather than a cartel clock and barometer.

Overall study and ready to hang. Cream paint has been refreshed and likely the gilding as well. There are a couple of overpainted age cracks and scattered negligible chips to the carved elements. A small section of carved garland is missing from above the thermometer. The paper dial overall intact but with tears and areas of loss and seemingly with its original paint.

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.
