European Furniture and Decorative Arts

Each example regilded but the gilding has age and appears to be professionally executed. Both examples with some old restorations, mostly visible on back where hessian was implemented to patch the restoration. The glass appears intact with a few scattered areas of flaking to silver backing. The example with the woman and child with two scrapes to the silver backing, this example with some separation and looseness to base of frame, would recommend stabilizing prior to hanging. Additional images 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.
