Problem free experience
Everything went smooth with this auction. Bonhams is a top business to deal with. Item was accurately advertised and quickly turned over to the shipper after payment. I used Global Pack and Ship, one of Bonhams recommended shippers. I found them very responsive and quick and they did an exceptional job in packing my item securely. Overall an excellent auction experience.

Could not be happier with a purchase. Excellent artwork, and the San Francisco staff of Bonhams is highly professional, helpful, and a pleasure to work with. They made special shipping arrangements in particular.
