European Furniture & Decorative Arts

The pedestals are associated and were either adapted or created specifically for the pair of tazze; the pedestals' marble tops have been drilled to accommodate screws on the underside of the tazze. The tazze are stable and exhibit a bright luster; they have likely been re-gilded in the last 50 years. The pedestals are sturdy and attractive, with faint nicks and scuffs. The marble tops don't always fit completely flush to the bases; the pegs or their fittings may need to be adjusted slightly. 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.
