European Furniture & Decorative Arts

The case in overall decent condition. The gilt-bronze mountings are bright. The bronze figural scene on top with some areas of rubbing to patina but appears in overall good condition, apparently unsigned. The marble body with some restored cracks along sides, does not detract from overall aesthetic unless viewed from the side. The bronze band on back with some loses to one corner. There is a missing segment of the rear left leg, so the clock wobbles slightly when resting on a flat surface, but is otherwise sturdy. Lacking cover for works on back, also lacking a winding key and pendulum. Works appear intact but able to wind and test without other items. Additional images 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.
