European Furniture & Decorative Arts, Including Property from Strawberry Hill

Good and stable condition. The table surface slides backward to reveal a tooled leather writing surface; this surface also slides backward to reveal drawer storage. These function with relative ease. There is no key present but the drawer is unlocked. Old nicks, scuffs and scratches, as well as minor instances of lifting to the parquetry veneer, but an attractive finish overall. Gilt bronze mounts and sabots are securely affixed.

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.
