This report is provided by Nadeau’s Auction Gallery as a courtesy and reflects our opinion only. Bidders should conduct their own due diligence. The absence of a report does not imply the lot is free of issues. 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.
