Listing description

Product description

Lot: small framed and glazed street‑scene watercolour, signed lower right. This original hand‑painted piece (warehouse marked original) sits behind glass with a double mat and a decorative gilt moulded frame — signature visible at the lower right but artist surname is unclear in the photos. The composition shows a town street scene with floral window baskets; the presentation is attractive for display despite age wear to the mount and frame.

Perfect for decorators, collectors of framed watercolours or anyone looking to add a vintage street scene to a hallway, study or small gallery wall. The picture is ready to hang (hanging hardware reported present and secure) and will suit buyers wanting an affordable original with character — or a framer/restorer who prefers to conserve the mat and frame or reframe to taste.

  • Included: framed, glazed watercolour with double mat and cardboard backing; hanging hardware present and secure.
  • Condition: overall good display condition but aged — gilt frame has paint loss, chips and corner knocks; mat is discoloured/foxed; small yellow/brown spot visible on the painted area; surface scratches and reflections on the glass visible in photos.
  • Measurements: framed outer dimensions 44 x 38 cm (HxW). Visible artwork aperture size not provided.
  • Authentication/proof: signature visible lower right (appears to read “David C.” with surname unclear). No provenance or certificate supplied.
  • Working status: N/A (artwork).
  • Known faults: frame gilt loss and edge/chip damage; mat staining/foxing; small spot on artwork; minor surface marks on glass.
