Property from the Winter White House

Appears to be overall a 17th/18th century server, but with later additions incorporating elements of varying age and refinishing to the front, inside and back. Decorative pilasters on front are late 20th century additions; later interior locking hardware and decorative molding around base also appear later. Drawer liners show signs of age including worming and deterioration. Older scuffs, marks, scratches, discolorations and worming throughout, consistent with age. Overall sturdy, usable and attractive.

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.
