Dining at Home

Good and stable condition. A few very small chips to the glaze, but no significant cracks or losses. Some wax residue to the interior of the candle cups. Under UV light, the male figure exhibits signs of an old restoration; it fluoresces from the chest upward to the drip plate. The nature of the restoration is unclear, and it seems to be quite old, since there is crazing on top of the restored area. See additional images for reference.

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.
