European Furniture & Decorative Arts

Generally good and stable condition. Each is sturdy and can be comfortably sat upon. Each has later blocks to the underside to stabilize the seats; one chair also has an old age split that has been repaired with several staples. The painting and gilt decoration are scuffed and worn, in some places rubbed away to show the underlying wood. Overall the appearance of the frames is attractive. The upholstery is slightly soiled and tearing; it needs replacement.

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.
