Buyer's Premium:

A collection of framed decorative artworks comprising landscape prints, a feline portrait, and small craft pictures. The landscapes include a print after John Constable’s The Hay Wain and other rural scenes, housed in various wooden frames with card mounts. A painting on board depicts the head of a ginger and white cat with green eyes. Also included are three small, square-framed items featuring cork or wood marquetry silhouettes of sailboats and palm trees against a dark background. The frames are constructed from wood or wood-composite materials, with several featuring gilt-effect inner slips.


Condition report:

The collection shows signs of age and storage. There is a general accumulation of dust on the frames and glazing. The wooden frames exhibit scattered scuffs, surface scratches, minor chips to the mitred corners, and wear to the gilded finishes. Some card mounts show light toning and discolouration consistent with age.
