Fine Furniture and Decorative Arts

Overall good and usable condition. Crazing to glaze of few throughout. The service appears to be a marriage of pieces collected over several years, so there are some minor differences to the color palette and design. Few areas with residue and discoloration to the surface area. Surface scratches throughout consistent with age and use. Few pieces with minor hairline fractures. The octagonal lidded box has been reconstructed at the sides. 1 bowl with 1/2 inch chip to rim. 1 dessert plate broken. 1 dinner plate with several hairlines to center, may not be usable.

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.
