Item Overview

Description

Portrait of a Dutch Admiral, Oil on Canvas. Attributed to Bartholomeus Van Der Helst (1613-1670). Two repaired holes.

Part two of a single-owner Lancaster, Ohio collection. We sold the first part of this collection last July. All sales final. Invoices above $2500 must be paid with cash, cashier's check or wire transfer. In-house shipping is available. Pickup is Tuesday, Oct. 15 from 1 pm to 3 pm in Carroll, OH or by appointment by Nov. 1. We can provide in-house shipping for this item. We pack once the lot is paid for. Once packed up we will send you an invoice for shipping and handling. Shipping questions: [email protected] Sales tax will be collected on all bidders. If tax exempt, make sure your certification is submitted with the bid platform.

Payment & Shipping

Payment

Accepted forms of payment: ACH, American Express, Discover, MasterCard, Visa, Wire Transfer

Shipping

We run shipping like a separate business. We charge for boxes, packing labor, packing material and ups shipping and add a 30 percent overall mark up on all of it. We don't accept outside labels. We DO pack well. Our in-house shipping cost is pretty reasonable on most things - and is MUCH less than alternatives like the UPS store, which often does not pack well. We get very few complaints about what is charged. But be warned: large, fragile and/or heavy orders are expensive to ship no matter who you use. We ship in-house because we can promise our buyers streamlined, easy and reliable shipping with very little breakage. If all this isn't OK with you, please arrange for an outside shipper to pick up your items within 14 days of the auction, or you will forfeit your purchase. Shipping questions: [email protected].

If shipping is not available and you don't pick up you agree to forfeit your items, and they will be disposed of at our discretion, meaning we will either throw them in the dumpster or take ownership of them after billing your card. Please leave yourself enough time to get all your items before the cutoff time. By bidding in this auction you authorize us to bill your card if you do not pick up, even if we dispose of your items. At the cutoff time we will close and we will ask bidders to leave, regardless of whether they have finished removing items.

You don't have to take the entire lot of contents when you buy. Just take what you want. However, any dumping on or near (or anywhere else for that matter) the auction property is strictly prohibited. If you take items and then dispose of them illegally or near the auction grounds we will file a police report if necessary. It is very easy for us to find out who you are based on what you dump.
