Nice patina to the surface, commensurate with age. Scattered occasional areas of loss. Crackling to finish also commensurate with age. Evidence of selective retouching. Scattered, occasional areas of old Insect damage, but does not detract from visual appeal. Back left-facing bun foot appears to be replacement. Front right-facing bun foot possibly later than the other feet. Drawer opens with ease and the interior appears to be mostly intact, retaining compartments and bearing read paint. Some of the dividers with losses and old insect holes. Includes a hidden drawer. Small break to veneer along front left-facing corner of top surface (piece present, can be reattached if desired). Retains locks on both drawer and slant front. Fitted interior remains intact overall. Mirror bears an old piece of plate glass with nice flecking and inclusions, some occasional losses to silvering/mercury. Frame is intact, backboard appears secured with later tack nails.

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.
