The gilding is 20th century, but is professionally done and properly burnished. Sturdy and usable, very attractive condition. Faille upholstery is intact and clean; ivory color. Gilded surfaces with scattered minor chips with exposed gesso; scattered faint cracks in the gilded surfaces not affecting the overall patina. Larger chip / gilt loss near the joint at the back of one of the arms.
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

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.
