• Since WE ARE A BAILEE ACTING ON BEHALF OF THE SELLER, we are not authorized nor do we have the expertise to give an expert opinion on the artwork on sale, even more so since some of these items have no provenance (all such items are sold as is). Therefore, most highly listed artists are sold as described, giving the buyer an opportunity to research the artwork that was purchased at a price well below the artist's auction records.
In case when we have COA or other similar documentation it is shown in an auction description and will be delivered to you together with the item for your personal examination.

• We recognize the risk to art buyers on the Internet: Are the pieces really as advertised? We want you, our buyers, to have peace of mind that your money is being well spent. We give you 72 hours (3 days) after receiving your purchase to determine and satisfy yourself that the artwork is as described. Please use your three days wisely, as we pay consignors on the fourth day after you receive your artwork, and we are therefore unable to give refunds after that time.

Canvas checked to be "Of the Period". "Painting Style" compared to examples of artists work. Therefore, in the seller's best judgment, it probably was executed by the artist stated. Keep in mind that examinations are subjective and can vary from expert to expert.
• Guarantee of Condition. Please note that many of the pieces offered are old and may have been restored, reconditioned or have defects that come with years of age and use. In the description we try to give our general opinion of the condition of the work, but these remarks are solely our opinion as well as that of the seller and are not intended to be neither exhaustive nor all-inclusive. Consequently, all works are sold with existing defects of condition, regardless of whether these defects are or are not noted in the description.

• Buyer is responsible for return shipping costs and insurance. Return Insurance is a requirement. This covers the risk of the buyer and seller in the event of improper handling by the shipper.
