A large neat original Retro or Antique River & Bush scene done on canvas as per photos. (except that camera flash can change colours & shades etc and make things look brighter & better than they really are)

Have reduced price heaps to what you now see as we need the room, so it needs to find a new home to be loved in.

The painting is signed but I can not read it, perhaps a helpful watcher will know. To me, it looks like a genuine signature - not a Chinese or Asian type of signature. It is the sort of painting done on canvas that is over a wooden frame, then that sits in another slightly larger frame or border type thing, then all that sits in the big carved wooden frame. It looks to be an oil perhaps as it is quite textured and lumpy in parts (but if being an oil or acrylic is important to you just give the auction a miss) It is not glassed of course. The carved look wooden frame looks quite neat. I think it is quite a neat piece. The painting itself looks quite good, odd little spots or marks from age, and has a lot of crazing in parts, probably due to its age, but basically still fine. The frame has minor little, marks, grazes, chips, wear & tear etc, but again, quite fine I think. Frame measures approx. 685mm x 585mm odd. What you can actually see of the painting itself is approx. 490mm x 390mm odd. The canvased frame at the back is approx. 510mm x 405mm. The canvas is stapled onto its frame on the sides, so if using staples, unlikely to be from too early in the 1900s. Can not make out the signature, and seems there might be something just written under the signature, perhaps a date or something, but can not get to it to see (unless you take it apart) Great piece for someone. We allow pickups, but if you do not want to pickup, then we can send on your behalf at your risk. Couriers or NZ post do not cover antiques, collectables or original paintings, art work etc, so again, sent at your risk. Thanks. refN8553206
