Modern Design

Frame is wobbly; legs are affixed to case with later nails (likely originally fixed with dowels). Surface wear to case in the form of minor scratches, nicks and tight age splits. Scattered areas of repair to the veneer, together with some minor areas of veneer loss, particularly at the corners and edges. Drawers open and close smoothly; the proper-left drawer with ink stains to the interior. Both drawer pulls are slightly askew, and various hardware elements to the drawer interiors suggest that the pulls were likely removed and re-attached.

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.
