I do a fair bit of research, based on signature, age, style etc, before I attribute an item but you are urged to do your own to avoid misunderstandings.

I offer no authenticity certificates (they can be faked too if you didn't know!)

Sometimes it is difficult to tell the difference between oil and acrylic so I am using "oil" as a general term.

Artworks that are framed and under glass have not been examined outside said frame and glass unless otherwise stated.

Measurements are in cm and are more or less accurate but consider them as approximate.

I loosely use the term "Orientalism" to describe the Arab speaking and former Ottoman empire countries.

VAT is usually not included. Contact me.

Vintage paintings (and other art) are, by definition, of a certain age and normal wear is common. Anything major will be noted. In item descriptions you will find the designations F (fair - it has issues), G (good - has normal age related wear) and VG (very good - has little or no wear). Sometimes the symbols +/- are added for extra precision.
