European Furniture & Decorative Arts

Appearing in overall fairly good, stable, and ready to place condition. Scattered nicks, scuffs, scrapes, and gouges consistent with use and moving. Inconsistencies in the finish of both tops. Drawers open and close smoothly. Each with rubbing to the gilding along the top edge, simulating age. Minor instances of lifting to the marquetry veneer. Overpainting to the marquetry throughout. There is no veneer present on the front feet beneath the sabots, seemingly from production. Additional images are available upon request.

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.
