REGRETFUL ESTATE SALE - My father was an avid collector of Australian paintings and amassed quite a collection. Unfortunately, there was never enough room to hang all the artwork and so 80% remained in storage. Due to down-sizing, all of these beautiful artworks must now be sold and go to new homes. This painting has only ever had one owner in a private collection and is from a non-smoking household.

I am helping my parents sort and down-size, adding new listings daily for vintage books, original oil paintings, glassware, dinnerware, ornaments, coin collections, Australian stamps, DVD movies and boxed collections, etc, etc, etc...so please CHECK OUT my other listings.
