European Furniture & Decorative Arts

Composed of three parts: a cover, body, and base. Overall fine and generally stable condition. The urn wobbles ever so slightly on its base. No major cracks or damage observed. There is a strip of porcelain at the top of the base, immediately beneath the bronze, where there is no glaze; it's unclear if this is from chipping or if this area was never glazed and was meant to be covered by bronze. It does not deter from the overall presentation of the urn. The glaze decoration is bright and attractive. The bronze mounts somewhat dull and with areas of oxidation.

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.
