Interiors, featuring a Main Line Philadelphia Collection and Part III of the Myra and Larry Karp Collection of Musical Boxes and Automata

Automaton clock: There is no winding key present, but the clock was tested using a key from another clock. Both pins take a wind and the clock appears to run fine. It has not been tested for run time or timekeeping accuracy. The hands can be manually advanced, and the automaton moves while a melody plays at the hour mark. The automaton's range of movement is fairly limited; the melody is a clear and pleasant sound. Old nicks and minor veneer losses to the case. The face's glass cover's hinge is broken but the cover stays in place when closed.
Carriage clock: Incudes a winding key which also works with automaton clock. Pins take a wind but clock doesn't appear to run. Hands can be manually advanced.

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.
