European Furniture & Decorative Arts

Sturdy, attractive and ready to place condition overall. An age crack in the veneers on the proper right side of the base. Some back boards replaced; the interior of the base partially re-built with a shelf. The center cabinet compartment of the upper section is locked and cannot be opened; there is no key. Worm holes, dark discolorations, small chips and other signs of age-related wear throughout. The front feet are seemingly original and have worm holes and some deterioration. There are no back legs; the underside has later sledge feet added for stability, so the front feet are possibly re-stuck. Additional photos 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.
