European Furniture and Decorative Arts

The clock feels fully wound but is not ticking. It does strike properly and with a beautiful sound when the repeater button is pressed and when the hands are advanced manually. The alarm mechanism works. With two-sided key. The portrait on the proper left side has a sliver of its right edge broken off or is loose within its housing and out of position revealing the right edge. Portraits appear to be painted on paper or ivorine. The top window is monogrammed with an illegible script.

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.
