Sturdy and usable condition. Both tables with worn and dry / flaking leather writing surfaces. Despite the wear and flaking, the tops are usable and the discoloration / patina adds to the character of the tables. Both tables with several areas of painted / colored in marquetry to conceal missing veneers. One table with more veneer chips and small areas of missing veneer than the other table. Bronze mounts with dull, darker patina. One table with faded (from sun) finish on its back. Some cracking / lifting veneer. Additional photos 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.
