European Furniture & Decorative Arts

Appears in overall good, stable, and ready to place condition. The shelves in the upper cabinet slide in and out easily. There are cracks in the veneer around each paneled door. The proper left side door with an area of lifting stringing veneer. The top of the proper right cabinet door with a small patch in the veneer. The base of the press (near the proper right front leg) with missing molding, some of which is present and could be re-attached. The proper right front foot with previous damage and repair, does not appear to impact stability. The press is apparently lacking a key but drawers and cabinets close snugly without being locked. The cabinet is in tow pieces and could be separated for moving.  Minor nicks, scuffs, and scrapes commensurate with age and moving. 

Condition reports are available upon request. All lots are sold “as is,” in the condition they are in at the time of the auction. The physical condition of lots can vary due to age, normal wear and tear, previous damage, and restoration. Prospective buyers are strongly advised to inspect a lot personally or through a knowledgeable representative prior to bidding. The absence of any reference to the condition of a lot does not imply that the lot is in perfect condition or completely free from wear and tear, imperfections, or the effects of aging. Prospective buyers must review and agree to the Conditions of Sale before participating in an auction, and it is the responsibility of the buyer to ensure that they have requested, received and considered any condition report.

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.
