Condition reports are rendered as specialist opinion by the staff of the Auction House and/or independent consultants and not as statements of fact. We do not guarantee the content of written or verbal condition reports. The absence of a condition report does not imply that there are no condition issues with the lot. Please call us at (609) 397-9374 or e-mail condition@ragoarts.com with any questions about this lot at least 24 hours prior to auction.

Please refer to our Condition of Sales before bidding on any lot. In addition, please note that Rago stands behind any condition report and specific dates, periods or eras provided. In their absence, the object is of a doubtful period in our opinion, or made in the 19th, 20th or 21st Century. The marks and signatures on a piece do not denote a production date, dating or period unless so specified. For example, when a piece bears the mark of a 17th century reign/artist/maker, the lack of mention of an actual manufacture date in the catalog means this may well be a later reproduction.
