Condition Reports

Please check existing condition reports for this sale prior to requesting additional information. Click Here to view that report. *Note: this link will only be active and functional as an upcoming sale is added to the website - approximately 2-3 weeks prior to an auction date.

Condition reports are addressed in the order they are received and are typically answered within 3 business days of receipt. As such, it is suggested that all requests are submitted AT LEAST 48 hours prior to the sale to allow time for the appraisers to respond and for bids to subsequently be entered. Due to time constraints in the 2 days leading up to a sale, NEW condition requests MAY NOT be able to be answered if not submitted per the above guide lines. Again, please check the existing report to see if questions about your lots of interest may already be answered. Remember, we begin answering condition reports approximately 2-3 weeks prior to each sale date.

Photographs for ALL lots WILL BE POSTED on our website as completed if not already present. If time allows, we will comply with additional photographic requests.

We endeavor to be fair and forthright with our descriptions and condition reports, however bidders must acknowledge that antique items often show normal signs of use and wear, which might not be specified in a condition report.  If you are a very particular client with expectations of perfection for the items you purchase, it is advisable that you inspect items in person or that you do not bother to submit bids as your definition of condition may be more exacting than an appraiser could have time to verify.
