This work has been in the consignor's family for quite some time. It originally hung at Kent House (also known as Montmorency House) when the house was occupied by George Benson Hall and family; however, we do not have any paperwork to support this.
The absence of a condition report does not indicate that the lot is in excellent condition. Buyers are responsible for determining the condition of lots by submitting a request, as there are no returns based on condition.
Most realised prices include the Buyer's Premium of 18-25%, but not the HST/GST Tax.
