The Estate of Devon Hoover

The pair appearing in overall good and stable condition. The gilt bronze is bright with areas of dark patination and verdigris in the recessed decoration. The bronze appears glossy. One example with a chip to the marble base on the back. The same example with a break to the decoration of one arm. The other example with an area of fill in the marble base to repair old cracks and scattered hairline cracks in the marble; not appearing to impact stability.

Lamps were in working order when installed in the consignor's home but have not been tested since being removed from the home. 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.
