Fine Furniture and Decorative Arts

German examples in allover good, stable, complete condition. Decoration and gilt bright but there is some rubbing to gilt. Each marked Germany, further with an intertwined S and X maker's mark. The Austrian example in overall good, complete condition. Decoration and gilt bright. Having crowned shield mark Wien, further impressed 1668V, made in Austria. Has a "rattle" to the base, suggesting perhaps an interior flaw. Examination under UV light did not reveal any condition issues.

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.
