European Furniture & Decorative Arts

Sturdy and usable condition. Seems to date to circa 1800 or early 19th century. Slight looseness in the joints; wobbles very slightly when moved, but typical for age and sturdy overall. There is a key and the key seems to work in the lock, but we are unable to open the drawer. It seems stuck somehow. The lower shelf's marble has a repaired break with some glue residue. Slight lifting on some of the brass inlays. Otherwise attractive with negligible wear patterns and scuffs / signs of age. Slight discoloration to the top's marble. A Chip at the back of the top marble. Slight bends in the brass gallery. Additional photos 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.
