Dining at Home

Overall good condition and very attractive appearance. One example has an internal crack to the bottom of the glass, as well as minor chips to the lower tips of its wings; these do not impact the stability and the glass is still water-tight. The flaws are not noticeable when the decanter is sitting upright. Both examples with some polish residue to the silver-plate, as well as faint scuffs from use and polishing. The hinges for both covers are sturdy and operate smoothly. Some glue residue is visible around the eyes.

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.
