Collect: Palm Beach

The ship has a lovely patina consistent with age and use, and is ready to place. The sails have darkened over time (caused by the natural acid in the fabric) and have minor areas of discolorations from past exposure to liquid. This is consistent with typical age and use.
The rigging and hardware appears to be intact and original. Because there are many tiny elements, please see the photos for more information. The varnish on the deck and hull is slightly discolored and has stable craquelure consistent with age throughout. This does not detract from the overall appearance. The hull has a narrow dent on one side and a small loss to the paint on the other side. The tip of one mast has a very tiny loss. The hardware has a lovely patina overall. We have not been able to identify a specific maker for the yacht, but it is of lovely quality.

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.
