You are bidding on a stunning antique hand painted bird print of a toucan by Francois- Nicolas Martinet (1731-1800).  Found at a lavish estate, this print is titled Le Barbican des cotes de Barbarie.  It is a stunning early print and measures roughly 9 1/2" x 11 1/2" as framed.  It was hard to find another example of this print given its age.  The print is in very good condition for its age although I may take it out of the frame to clean the frame and remove any debris in between frame and print.  A truly remarkable item and perfect for any home.

I use the US Postal Service and use priority mail to ensure quick delivery although size/weight can often be a deterrent due to a balloon fee on boxes over a certain size. Shipping costs are based on weight and distance from my home in Fairhaven, MA. In simplest terms, I ship priority mail unless it is a book (then I ship using media mail) or if the item is bigger than a breadbox or heavier than 5 lbs (unless I can fit it in a flat rate box).   I'm also open to local pick-up at my home in Fairhaven.

I've been selling on Ebay since 1998 but this is not a full time job. I'm happy to answer all questions but please be aware that these questions are normally answered after I have returned home from work. I encourage you to look at my other auctions for a wide variety of items. I often sell glass, pottery, books, art, clothing and other unusual items one may find at yard sales and estate sales. Best of luck in your bidding and thanks for your time looking at my auction.
