Fine Furniture and Decorative Arts

Overall good, attractive, sturdy condition with some looseness to joints. Four drawers (newer with late 20th century locks) on one side; no drawers on opposite side. Two of the drawers are locked, with no key. Heavy wear throughout with very heavy worming, deteroriation, age cracks, old scuffs and stains consistent with age. Wear is heavier on the base and feet. The legs and stretchers likely 17th century with later finish; the top, drawers and parts of the frieze are later and have been adapted to the base. Additional photos 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.
