This is an incredible offering...even for eBay! Imagine this, if you will. In 1882, a well-to-do family from Rochester, New York, known to also own a beautiful Victorian mansion in East Norwich, (Oyster Bay), Long Island, N.Y. brings their 3 year old daughter, dressed in her finery to a photographic studio at 44 & 46 State Street. This is the A.E. Dumbie studio in Rochester. Then, using the cabinet photo image, it is hand painted onto a Wedgewood Charg...er. This wonderful charger is 15” in diameter and is clearly marked WEDGWOOD. See last pic.Imagine now, if you will, that the cabinet photo and the portrait still BOTH exist in the year 2019 and that they are still together. INCREDIBLE!
However, they are together. They are being offered here for the discriminating buyer who loves Victorian photo technology and portrait painting. If you love history and you love the above 100% TRUE story of these inseparable images, then this is the eBay opportunity of all time.
Based on comparable Victorian era Wedgwood portrait chargers, the estimated auction value of the portrait is 200 to 400. The cabinet photo estimated value based on comparables is 100 - 125. Both, representative of the same child, would surely command a higher combined price. But, I leave that to you to decide. This auction will have NO RESERVE. The low opening bid for the lot is set at $100. There is no “buy it now” price, but I am offering you the opportunity to submit your highest offer.
I will “super pack” this lot to be certain it arrives at your address without damage. I will ship via PRIORITY” mail. Non-USA buyer will be assisted in final shipping arrangements via the eBay Global Shipping Program.
Please ask questions. Study pics. Fall in love with this child’s images. Bid until you win. This type of opportunity does not often present itself.
See my 21 years as an eBay seller and my feedback record...bid in total confidence.
Good luck!
