Palm Beach Furniture and Decorative Arts

The tapestry is in overall very good condition retaining its brilliant verdure color pallette and displaying only slight fading of color. The tapestry retains a well-done, tri-color linen border and recent linen/cotton panel backing. The tapestry retains some areas of separation, in particular to the middle-top quadrant and slight drying of weave commensurate with age. As is exceedingly common with antique tapestries of this quality this work retains evidence of conservation and stabilization throughout. The tapestry is in overall very good, stable and ready-to-place condition.

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.
