European Furniture and Decorative Arts

In overall stable, attractive condition. The marble base with areas of fill and restoration to cracks on base; restorations do not detract from overall aesthetic unless viewed closely. The bronze figure with rubbing to patina on raised areas. The clock takes a wind and appears to run while striking on the half and full hour. Tape residue to back glass, appears to flake off when rubbed but would require some work to get all removed. While performing condition report, the nut that secures bell to rod fell into base and we were unable to retrieve it; nut remains in base. Additional images 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.
