Fine Furniture and Decorative Arts

In overall good, stable condition. There are scattered areas of staining, surface wear, and craquelure to the upholstery. The swiveling compartments easily swivel, and have minor surface wear consistent with use. The adjustable reading ledge has surface wear (nicks and scratches) consistent with age and use. There is general wear to the legs and feet in the form of surface scratches and minor nicks, as well as some instances of veneer loss to the fore-feet. The hardware attaching the swiveling compartments to the chair frame appear to be replaced. There is a newer bracket of wood affixed to the underside for support.

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.
