One chair's proper left rear leg is broken off halfway down. The detached segment is present, but will need professional repair to make the chair stable enough to support weight. Presently the chair does not stay upright on its own. The other chair and the sofa are relatively sturdy and can support weight. The painted finish is uneven, with heavy wear from age and use. Old fill and overpainting visible between boards, notably to the back of the sofa; it's unclear if this is a repaired break or simply an attempt to conceal seams from construction. Some modern screws have been added for stability.

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.
