The wood is walnut. Largely intact and original condition. Most elements of construction seeming original or showing significant age. One drawer front has a removed lock. Some of the rails supporting the drawers are 19th century replacements. Three of the four stretchers seem original, one might be a 19th century replacement. The turned legs seem to be original. The block bases of the legs are heavily insect eaten and deteriorated, but sturdy. The top separates from the base for transport and its weight is supported by four modern dowels which are inserted into the four corners of the base. The top seemingly original and very slightly warping, constructed of two boards which are now separating consistent with age. An older repaired age crack which has opened again. Table is sturdy.

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.
