This lot was originally offered without reserve in our July 8, 2016 auction. The buyer, a Manhattan auction house owner and television show furniture appraiser, never paid for his purchases. As a result, this property from the Joseph Candioto Trust is being offered again without reserve.

We ship in-house for all items with the exception of very large and or very fragile pieces and some international shipments.

Very good condition. The footboard is loose and shows evidence of having been stabilized with glue in the past. The foot board stands on corner posts that are not completely tight in their construction, allowing that part to move easily and are not sturdy. Otherwise very good free from damage or heavy wear.
