Lot of 2 ORIGINAL Hand-Drawn ART DECO FASHION FUR COAT DESIGNS c.1930s SIGNED - by Artists: "A. Doukis" and "Lena Lambin" - The larger sketch is 9" x 14-1/2", done in pencil with hand coloring. It is signed by the artist "A. Doukis," and also annotated "Sol Vogel. Patt. No. 2762." It also has someone's initials and the word "OK." So, I believe this design was submitted to Sol Vogel (a designer furrier) and approved as pattern #2762. Whether or not they ever produced the piece, I do not know. This piece is temporarily mounted in a protective paperboard frame, but the frame has no value except to protect the artwork for transportation and storage. - The smaller sketch is about 7" x 11-1/2", done in pencil and hand-inked. It is signed by the artist "Lena Lambin." There is no evidence that this one was related to Sol Vogel.
Condition Details: - Original condition as found. No signs of abuse. - This is HAND-DRAWN and colored artwork, so EXPECT some smudges, etc. - ALSO EXPECT that it is not perfect; it is in keeping with the artist's level of talent. Normally, these types of sketches were a "proof of concept," and the artist was focused on clearly depicting the details of the garments being designed -- not so much on creating a "work of art." As with all my listings (unless explicitly stated otherwise), this comes from a NON-smoking environment. 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. [ ALL ABOUT SHIPPING... ] DON'T OVERPAY FOR SHIPPING: U.S. purchasers, you can choose from various shipping options
