Fine Furniture and Decorative Arts

Overall decent stable condition, with old scuffs, marks and scratches consistent with age and use. Decoration mostly intact with areas of inpainting and wear to gilt. Loss to finish primarily to bottom with exposed gesso and wood. Drawers open and close smoothly. Traces of warping, particularly to one cabinet door. Age splits and shrinkage visible to cabinet doors. The interiors previously fit with shelves (not present). All locks present (one key works for all locks). The marble tops are later replacements and each have repairs and have been reinforced.

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.
