European Furniture & Decorative Arts

Overall good and stable condition. The gilt bronze elements with some dark areas. The enameled face and side panels are bright and attractive, with only very minor losses observed. The fish finial, which may be later and associated, with some small chips/losses to its fins. There are a pendulum and a winding key present. The pins appear to be overwound. The hands can be manually advanced, and the hammer strikes the chime at the hour and half-hour. The pendulum can be set in motion, but the clock does not continue to run or keep time.

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.
