European Furniture and Decorative Arts

Overall attractive and ready-to-place condition. Probably date to 19th century, not 20th century as originally catalogued, with later electrification. The electrical wiring is secured to the outside of the metal, and held in place with wire in some areas and with glue in other areas. There are areas of glue residue visible on the back of the metal branches. Prisms seemingly all present and in favorable condition. A few negligible chips on some prisms. Wiring not tested recently but was working recently at consignor's home; wiring is newer. Negligible "spotty" areas on the bronze and some uneven patina / oxidization.

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.
