Provenance: Norland Galleries, London

Sold for £1,300

In restored condition relined, cleaned and revarnished. Some surface dirt and discolored varnish now in evidence. Some slight flattening to the surface and thinning of paint as a result of the restoration process. Small linear area of paint loss and rubbing within the lower right-hand corner. Little to determine by way of overpainting or restoration under a UV light, but does not preclude the possibility of some subtle intervention, otherwise in a broadly good state of presentation.

 


We are happy to provide Condition Reports to prospective buyers, but would welcome your request as soon as possible, preferably at least 48 hours before the Day of Sale. We cannot guarantee a reply to any requests made within 48 hours of the start of the auction. The absence of a Condition Report from a lot does not mean that the lot is in perfect condition. A Condition Report is an honest expression of our opinion, not a statement of fact and is provided as a service to the seller. All lots are available on public view ahead of an auction and we encourage prospective buyers to inspect an item in person where possible. Our Condition Reports are not prepared by professional conservators, restorers, or engineers, and are prepared with the naked eye unless otherwise stated.

Regarding Pictures, Prints and Works on Paper, works are not examined out of the frame, unless specifically stated. Tennants Auctioneers do not cover damage to gilded wood or plaster picture frames, or to picture frame glass whilst the item is in our possession.

We accept no liability for the opinions expressed in any Condition Report.
