Palm Beach Furniture and Decorative Arts

Both commodes are in sound structual condition retaining their elaborate parquetry inlay which presents some evidence of professional restoration. The elaborate veneers are secure and present only minor expected age splitting in some areas and no evidence of active lifting. The top surfaces in particular retain minor surface scratches to their gloss finish with the chests overall displaying only very minor expected scuffs/scratches commensurate with age. All drawers slide easily and the pair retain 2 working keys.

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.
