A seller you can trust
The painting arrived today. It was exactly as pictured, and I have to say that the packing was commendable-ranking with the best of the art shipments we have received over many years. Also, shipping was very reasonable, which is often not the case with artwork. Clearly an auction company with a focus on customer service!
