European Furniture and Decorative Arts

Each in sturdy, usable condition; can be comfortably sat upon. Old scuffs, inactive worming, and minor repairs to the framework. One chair appears to have had both its back legs replaced in the 19th or 20th century. The same chair has modern screws reinforcing the proper-left front leg. The other chair's proper-left front leg is partially rebuilt, and its proper-left back leg appears to be a replacement. The seats appear retain old stuffing and webbing; they have not been sprung. The upholstery is faded and lightly fraying in some areas.

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.
