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

Secondary wood: Pine and chestnut.
In overall fine and stable condition. Retaining the original drawer pulls (with the exception of the two in the lowest drawer, which show signs of having been on that drawer for a very long time) and lock mechanisms (lacking keys). Retains a fairly even patina and refinished surface, though and older refinish. Scuffs, marks and scratches consistent with age and use. Age cracks visible in areas throughout, but none that cause concern for the structural integrity of the piece. The brass knob from the fan-carved drawer is detached, but retained. Scuffs, marks and scratches consistent with age and use. Several of the drawers show 1” to 2” patches to the molding in the corners.

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.
