The eagle is probably a 19th century replacement. Appears in overall stable, attractive condition. The eagle associated with an area of loss to feather on wing tip, having a fairly even brown patina throughout with some areas of rubbing on top of wings near shoulders. The marble largely intact with a small triangular chip on front rim. Two screws on underside of marble base suggest two additional feet on far left and right sides of marble, no longer retained. 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.
