American Furniture, Folk & Decorative Arts

Width of case: 33 inches.
Secondary wood: White Pine and Poplar
In overall fine and stable condition. The top and sides each of two-board construction. The finish and color are consistent throughout, with rich color, but the finish likely an earlier 20th-century application. Scuffs, marks, and scratches consistent with age and use.  Few age cracks visible, most due to the construction techniques and shrinkage of the wood. Drawer pulls are replaced, but the lock mechanisms appear to be original and retain a key that functions but does not fully activate the lock. Poplar drawer runners appear later. One foot facing previously cracked and reglued, each of the scroll return points is replaced, but seemingly early.

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.
