presents nicely, showing evidence of a couple paint campaigns, signs of red showing through the current black finish- signs of wear and loss to surface commensurate with age and use, but overall the black paint appears to be old and has nice effect; the rounded arm terminals have replaced wood segments; back left-facing foot with replaced wood segment along back; back left-facing leg may be partially replaced, as there is a horizontal line about 1/6 of the way down that may indicate a replaced section, but obscured by old paint so hard to tell with certainty; scattered signs of expected wear commensurate with age and use, particularly to seat and feet; crestrail probably with some restorations- evidence of later screws to underside of one side

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.
