Palm Beach Furniture and Decorative Arts

The cassoulettes are structurally sound and in overall very good presentable condition retaining their gilt bronze mounts and original hand-hewn hardware (visible on the underside). The solid malachite bodies display minor "pitting" commensurate with age. The gilt bronze mounts retain oxidation/patina overall. The malachite lids are removable and retain fleabite losses/chips with one lid retaining a slightly larger chip to its underside which is not visible when the lid is placed on the urn. Please see condition photos.

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.
