The NSCDA-IL Collection at Clarke-Ford House (CFH).
Note:
The Clarke-Ford House, a Greek Revival home built in 1836 for Henry B. Clarke and Caroline Palmer Clarke, is considered Chicago's oldest surviving house. The National Society of the Colonial Dames of America in the State of Illinois has partnered with the Clarke-Ford House since 1978. The period-appropriate items assembled for this home were on display there until recently and have since been deaccessioned after a reinterpretation of the site.
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.
