Fine Furniture and Decorative Arts

In decent, stable condition overall. Each with deposits of yellow puddy to the candle cups and deposits of candle wax to the bodies. One example wobbles slightly and has a candle cup with a missing liner. Each with surface wear in the form of minor nicks and scratches to the gilt bronze. Enameling largely intact on both examples, although one has an area of abrasions/surface loss approximately 1 1/8 x 1 1/4 inches in size. Examination under UV light reveals one minor area of retouch to the enameling on one example, and several minor areas of retouch to the enameling on the other.

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.
