European Furniture and Decorative Arts

The suite appears in overall good, stable, and ready to place condition. Can be sat upon comfortably. Scattered instances of chipping and loss to the gilt and the gesso. The backs of the chairs and settee with adhesive residue and some loss to the gilding in there areas. Upholstery is clean and intact and the seats are sprung. One bergere and the settee appear more brightly gilt; the second bergere is somewhat duller and possibly of an older age but matches the rest of the suite. 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.
