Interiors

With 2 keys. The cabinets are possibly made in England, not France as originally described. The shape is somewhat English, but origin unknown. No visible stamps. One cabinet has crazing in its varnish on one side and one of the doors, giving it a slightly "cloudy" appearance. Minor scratches throughout, one with a deeper scratch on one side. The interior shelves with some scratches and wear around the lock mechanisms. Bronze mounts with slightly dull patina. Marble tops without significant damage or repair; very thick and constructed from 2 or 3 layers cemented together. One top with a filled chip on its front. Both with some minor fill (from production, not repair) in fractures or holes of the top. 

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.
