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

In overall fine condition. Retains a dark, rich and crusty historic painted surface throughout. Scuffs, marks and scratches with areas of paint loss consistent with age and use. Retains the original brasses, which had been painted over.  Areas of loss to the molded edges of the drawers throughout.  White pine drawer construction. Few age cracks throughout. There are old chalk marks on the proper right board at the opening of each drawer, likely the size of each drawer opening. Appears to retain the original drawer runners, though two are lacking. 

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.
