Appearing in overall fair, sturdy, and ready to place condition. Nicks, scuffs, and scrapes throughout commensurate with age, use, and moving. Scattered age splits and sections of warping and lifting to the veneer to both examples. Both examples have drawers that stick somewhat due to expansion/ shrinking of the case over time. There is no key for the drawers. One of the cabinets with an area of fill to the veneer on the top and on the drawer fronts near the keyholes. The proper left back leg of this example with an area of fill just above where the leg joins the case. Old glue residue to the legs on the proper left side, possibly from an old repair. The second example with scattered areas of fill and patches to the veneer. Lacking the escutcheon on the center drawer. Additional images are available upon request.

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.
