European Furniture and Decorative Arts

The entire vitrine lifts off of the table base and the model is not attached to the table base, so the model could be removed and displayed on its own. The display case has cracks to one pane of the glass on the top and sections of detached molding. These molding elements are detached but present and could be re-attached. Other than the issue of the glass and molding surrounding the vitrine, the table is in attractive and ready to place condition with normal and negligible scuffs and signs of wear throughout. The drawers are false. The brass caps and casters are seemingly original. Unsure of the age of the temple model. It is likely not original to the vitrine table. There is no key. 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.
