Condition Report
In overall good and stable condition. Appears to retain a rich, historic, crusty surface throughout, though some of the top has been cleaned back a bit. Old scuffs, marks and scratches consistent with age and use. Craquelure and light lifting visible in areas. Some rubbing and loss to the gilt on the base. Areas of loss to the veneer, particularly along the base. The central bolt on the underside is replaced. A few small, old losses from the edges of the scrolls on the feet.
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 Hindman
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 Hindman 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 Hindman.
