Description

On offer is this lovely collectible newly framed antique auction poster. It’s in good condition overall – the paper itself shows extensive brown foxed marks all over as well as notable folding / crease lines; there are also a number of old torn areas (please refer to images). The frame is also in good order – a few light scuffs around the edging & the backing tape has also started to peel / come away but as shown all adding to the aged charm & character of the piece. It’s of traditional form, an auction poster from 1879 advertising the sale of two lots – the first a house & shop & the second a school or academy (which was only four years old at the time of sale). The auctioneer was T. Boyd. Printed by John Adair of Maryport. It comes presented in a fairly new frame with clear perspex front – within the last ten years – the reverse side has two eyelets / screw loops with hanging thread taped on (not inserted). As well as the tape starting to peel there are a few holes to the tape & one fixing slither has come out. Including the frame it measures 38cm (15 inches) by 54.5cm (around 21 & 1/2 inches) – outer measurements – & despite the condition issues raised is ready to be collected & enjoyed once again! Please note due to the overall size & fragility of this item a tracked & insured courier service will be used for delivery. As always all my shop items are open to offers – I can reserve an item for you & accept layaway payment options to suit every budget.
