St. Louis Summer Auction

Overall in good condition with no major visible losses to either. Each shows oxidation, and age to gilding throughout. Both upper candelarm sections should be properly secured to the lower standards, as each currently sits askew atop the standard. Each shows tears to bronze in the acanthus leaves at base of candelarms. Also each leaf has a hole at outer end (not threaded), suggesting that something is possibly missing…perhaps prisms or something. One candelarm (and possibly a second) on one candelabrum appears to have been previously repaired at the connection to central support. These appear tarnished in color compared to other surfaces. Inquire for images.

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.
