Dining at Home

Each in stable, usable condition. Scuffs and scratches consistent with age and use. Polish residue and areas of tarnish present as is typical. One example is engraved with armorials to both sides; the other only has engraving on one side. (The engravings differ between the two examples.) The one that is twice-engraved has a more dull/matte finish overall, likely from polishing. There are areas where the silver plating has been worn away and the underlying copper-tone metal is visible. Each has a conforming liner which fits flush to the interior and is easily removable. 

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.
