Antique AAFA horses and lightening oil on board circa 1880 with professional restoration, cleaning and framing. Originally acquired in Wiscasset, Maine.  Lightening bolt in background original to picture and not a restoration.  Picture measures 17" x 8" x 1".   Restoration and cleaning was the only way to save this beautiful painting.  I was almost completely black with dirt, dust and soot and had tape on the top that was stuck to the painting.  I used a conservator from Glen Ellyn, Illinois who only did conservation-restoration work and framing.  He was employed by the Art Institute of Chicago for 35 years as a painting conservator.  This was my last work I was able to have done from him before his full retirement.  I am currently downsizing my collection so please see my additional items for sale.  All props are for display purposes only and are not for sale.  I do not accept any returns.  Please ask any questions prior to bidding.  I am happy to supply additional photos as needed.  All of my items are sent USPS Priority Mail, insured with "signature confirmation".  If this doesn't work for you please do not bid.
