Property from the Aline Elwes McDonnell Trust

Seat height 18 inches.
Each in overall fine condition. Retaining even patina and color throughout. Scuffs, marks and scratches consistent with age and use. Traces of craquelure and flaking to the painted surface. The caning shows good age, though it likely isn’t the original, but it is also mostly intact with few trouble areas. The side chair and one arm chair each have an early screw inserted at the top of the proper front right leg at the junction with the side seat rail, suggesting a loosening of the joint. The previously mentioned repair to the side chair is slightly loose. It is possible that some of the molded supports of the back are replaced as some show little to no wear in comparison to others.

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.
