Fine Furniture, Decorative Arts and Silver

In good condition overall. Minor dent to the surface of the paint in the lower right corner with subsequent loss to the paint that is approximately 3/16 inches in width. Surface crack to the painted surface that extends from the interior edge of the right side of the frame approximately 2 1/2 inches inwards. Examination under UV light reveals a milky varnish that obfuscates much of the background foliage. The plumage of the roosters also fluoresces slightly under UV light, suggesting minor instances of retouch.

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.
