Appearing in overall fair and attractive condition. Old nicks, scuffs and scrapes throughout. The hinges are bent forward and the doors do not stay shut on their own. There is a key, but the lock is not functional. Panels on either side and on the doors do not fit properly due to expansion and shrinkage over time. Age splits on the sides of the case. Worming throughout. There is a latched door on the proper left side of the case. There are breaks in the back boards and the backboards appear to have been replaced. There is a later added shelf and rod for hanging clothing, but no other shelving. There are added metal brackets inside the front corners for added stability. The drawer sticks when opening and closing. Feet possibly replaced or later added, but do show age. There is a lost section of molding at the proper right back lower corner. 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.
