Fine Furniture and Decorative Arts

Likely late 18th/early 19th century with alteration. Overall very good, stable, clean condition, mounted to later cotton backing. Does not appear to have been reduced from a larger tapestry, but the design at the lower corners is not continuous suggesting that the borders may have been altered (see additional photos available upon request). Scattered areas of small repairs, light surface dirt and some stains. Please request additional photos. By repute, purchased from a dealer in the Netherlands, early-to-mid 20th century.

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.
