lot 103: the seat with expected signs of wear commensurate with age and use, including some scuffing (particularly along front edge of seat), some scratches, and a visible area of surface finish loss to left-facing side; the left-facing stile with repaired break at back, where it meets arm-rest attachment- this same stile (and some other spindles toward that side / corner) could benefit from reinforcement, as they are somewhat loose from seat / crest-rail attachments; some scuffing to legs commensurate with age and use, particularly one area to back of left-facing leg; the front stretchers with generally rubbed surfaces commensurate with use; some areas of mild sun-fading

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.
