Appearing in overall good, stable, and ready to place condition. Can be sat upon comfortably. There are areas of fill on the back of the chair where each arm joins suggesting that there may have been some repair of reinforcement to the arms. When viewed from the underside the legs do not properly align with the seat blocks, suggesting the chair incorporates elements from different 18th century articles and was re-configured in the 19th century. Scattered worming and veneer repairs visible along the seat. The proper left front leg with glue visible to the underside where the corner blocks have been reattached. There are two old glue repairs to cracks in the shoe of the splat. 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.
