Property from a Michigan Collector

In three parts, a lower case, an upper case and the cornice; doors detach from the upper case when moved off of the lower. Drawers are of pine construction. In overall fine and stable condition. Retaining a fairly even surface and color throughout. Old scuffs, marks and scratches consistent with age and use. Few age cracks visible throughout, one at the dowel from the underside of the top case into the lower case, though this does not cause structural concerns.

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.
