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 original condition free from major damage, repair, replacements or heavy wear. Minor marble chip front left side, a small marble repair back right corner, wear below the doors inside their opening.
