Appearing in overall good, stable and ready to place condition. Scattered nicks, scuffs, and scrapes consistent with age and use. Several areas of fill long age splits in the roll top and on either side of the case. Small instances of fill in the marquetry which are only noticeable upon close inspection. There is a patch in the veneer above the proper left front foot. The roll top mechanism works well opening and closing smoothly. Drawers open and close well. There is one key which works in the upper two drawers but is somewhat bent and does not fit into the lowest drawer. Brasses are possibly replaced. 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.
