The Donald F. Moylan, M.D. Collection of American Furniture, Folk & Decorative Arts, Part I

In overall good and stable condition, ready for display. Slight fading to painted decoration in areas, with minor deposits of surface grime and areas of inevitable wear and flaking, given age and use. Heavy spotting to mirror plate. Crest previously reinforced, now stable.  Central half of the round potion of crest and the "horn" to its right are both complete but very early replacements; surfaces are consistent under both natural and UV light examination.

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.
