American Furniture, Folk and Decorative Arts

In very good to excellent original condition with minor surface wear commensurate with age and gentle use. The principal tabletop with minor scuffs, light scratches, scattered small bumps and impressions to tabletop and edges, and with a very warm matte finish. The removable extension leaves somewhat darker and redder, with a less glossy finish; the leaves with slightly more wear, including small areas of household paint transfer at corners and edges. Table base in similarly very good condition, with minor wear and scattered household paint transfer. The chairs with overall light to moderate surface wear commensurate with age and use, including scuffs, scratches, bumps and impressions, largely concentrated to seats. Chair backrests with heavier soil accumulation and would benefit from gentle cleaning. Chairs are sturdy and well-made. Overall, a very attractive example of the form and ready to place. 

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.
