European Furniture and Decorative Arts

Includes a case key, winding crank, pendulum and two weights. The clock takes a wind but does not appear to run/keep time when the pendulum is set in motion. The figures on the dial do move their arms as intended while the pendulum swings. The hands can be manually advanced but the hammer does not strike the bell at the hour as intended. The case is very attractive despite some age splits and minor losses to the veneer.

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.
