This report is provided by Nadeau’s Auction Gallery as a courtesy and reflects our opinion only. Bidders should conduct their own due diligence.

Assessments are based on visual inspection; unless noted, items have not been examined under UV light, movements and electrical components have not been tested, and artworks are generally not removed from frames. We are not professional conservators, and this report is not a comprehensive condition evaluation. Images provided form part of the report and should be reviewed carefully. All sales are final.
