Vtg - Antique HORSE RACE / JOCKEYS Impressionist PASTEL Painting - Signed RIDGEWAY
Item History & Price
Impressionist Pastel Painting
Untitled - Depicts a Horse Race
Signed "RIDGEWAY"
Bright Colors
Visible Art Size: 17" x 11" / Framed Size: 23" x 17"This is a beautifully executed piece with plenty of energy and action. Judging by the frame alone -- which I assume is original to the piece, it dates from 1900-1930.
[ CONDITION... ]
- Beautiful antique condition -- from a non-smoking environment.- The frame is sturdy, but ...not high-end. It is black lacquer over wood, and the lacquer is chipping off in many spots due to age. Note that the matting job appears to be well done but not professional. Please look closely at the photos.
The above is my good-faith attempt to disclose all noteworthy issues. Keep in mind that vintage/antique items always show their age. (Don't we all!?) It would be impossible to mention every tiny detail, so please expect that there will be something about this item (or lot) that's not perfect and may need touch-up.
PLEASE SUPERSIZE ALL PHOTOS, AND ASK ALL QUESTIONS BEFORE BIDDING/BUYING. I'LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER.Please be aware -- as with ALL antique and vintage paintings, prints, and other framed items -- that there is a potential (though unlikely) that the original paint on the frame may contain lead compounds, and (even MORE unlikely, though possible) asbestos-related materials. If this is a concern, one option is that you can apply a clear matte sealer over it so nobody comes in direct contact with the original paint.
