<p>[QUOTE="techbiker, post: 4518109, member: 60629"]The shipwreck scene was relined at one point. The lining is thick and feels springy, almost like leather. It's hard to describe but seems high quality? Unfortunately much of the impasto has been flattened (I suspect during relining). If the lining is leather or similar, I'm wondering if it needs any special care?</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks a bunch. Grand total was ~$2000 after fees, shipping, international call goofs, etc. I actually just wanted to buy the shipwreck scene but shipping was prohibitive. It was more economical to purchase a bunch of paintings. I'm a RE investor w/ extra wall space and enjoy 19th century art. Going to start selling some of the paintings I bought last year though to make way for others!</p><p><br /></p><p>P.S. I was prepared to lose a good deal of this investment when I purchased these paintings. Although this appears to have worked out, the process took a bunch of effort and was definitely a bit of a gamble. Ex- the damage to the ship scene would have been a problem if I didn't have a set of restoration paints. Generally can't recommend bulk importing unless one has enough experience with the process.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
