Collect: Palm Beach

The bureau is in good condition for age and use. It has been fitted with later ormolu drawer handles and keyhole escutcheons. The drawers slide easily and the concertina action opens smoothly. There is evidence of old post-hole beetle marks; these are not currently active and have been professionally restored. The legs are original and do not appear to have been shortened. Please see the condition images for more information.

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.
