Fine Furniture and Decorative Arts

Good, complete condition overall. The putto hammering a heart on an anvil has a restored hand. The putto with bound hands has a small overpainted chip on the base. The putto stabbing a heart with an arrow has restoration to the arrow. The blindfolded putto has been broken and restored fairly extensively (but professionally and not visibly to the naked eye). The putto using a bellows has a repaired foot. The "hobo" putto has several repairs not visible to the naked eye but visible under UV light. Dust and light surface scratches as can be expected. Additional photos available upon request.

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.
