European Furniture and Decorative Arts

Appearing in overall good, stable, and ready to place condition. Armoire deconstructs into smaller sections for moving and storage and is held together with wood dowels when assembled. Scattered worming throughout consistent with age and heavier worming on the feet. Old scuffs, marks and scrapes throughout. Age cracks to the case and the feet; not appearing to impact stability. A few small areas of fill to the front of the armoire's doors. Some minor separation of the trim in the upper portion of the armoire's proper right side. The cornice with old age cracks. The proper right back leg with white paint residue. The proper left back leg with an age crack and area of loss. Drawers on the interior are somewhat difficult to open and close due to warping on the case. The proper left door is slightly warped, but still closes securely. With a key which works in the lock and with four shelves. There is a panel that appears to be meant to enclose either the top or bottom of the case, meaning that one end would have to be open. Additional images are 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.
