St. Louis Fall Auction

There is general surface wear from use along base and apron. The surface condition of the tabletop does show areas of loss to veneer and areas where the veneer is beginning to pop or pucker (please see accompanying images). The inlaid brass banding has buckled in one area and has become detached and is raised in a second area. Overall, the surface of the top should be addressed and stabilized. The connection between the circular top and base might also benefit from being further secured, it appears to have loosened with use.

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.
