The cabinet is sturdy and ready to place. Scattered cracking to the veneer of the drawer fronts. The sides of the case with instances of lifting and fill to the veneer. Some missing and lifting stringing. Drawers open and close smoothly. The back boards are wormed. Gilt mounts are bright and even throughout. There six finials detached; four are present and could be re-attached. There is one key which works in most of the locks but does not fit into two top proper left drawers and one lock on the proper right side sticks. Most of the cabinet is 20th century but the locks, strap hinges, and backboards appear earlier. The stand is sturdy with nicks, scuffs, scrapes, and gouges consistent with age and use. The stand is later. 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.
