European Furniture & Decorative Arts

The cabinet is in two sections; the upper portion and lower. The upper cabinet with repaired breaks to each of the finials. Lacking sections of molding and stringing inlay, some of which is present and could be repaired. Pietra dura panels are mostly intact aside from one crack on the pietra dura drawer front. This panel is loose and would benefit from from reinforcement. There is a key but it does not work in the lock. The interior of the upper cabinet is lacking interior shelves. The lower portion of the cabinet with missing sections of molding, scuffs and scrapes to the surface consistent with age and use. The lower cabinet with one shelf in the interior. 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.
