Dining at Home

Overall good and stable condition. The trolley is heavy but moves smoothly on its wheels. The dome cover opens and closes fairly easily; there is a pin to lock it in place when closed. Three burners to the underside with their wicks intact. The chamber can be filled with water from above and there is a drain valve to the underside. One large and two small bowls to the interior adjacent to the carving board for warming sauces or other dishes. All components appear in good condition. The silver plating has been well cared for; it exhibits very faint scuffs from occasional polishing, but a generally bright and attractive finish. The medial tray is not attached to the trolley and can be easily lifted out for cleaning or for use as a service tray. The champagne bucket is not original to the trolley, so it does not fit flush in the holder.

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.
