Antiques & Collectables, Silver & Gold (14% Buyers Commissions)
A group of three framed prints is offered. The largest, horizontally oriented print, identified through web intelligence as Fred Machetanz’s ‘Tender Arctic’, depicts a polar bear leading four cubs across an icy landscape with a seal in a water hole. The print is visibly signed ‘John Haysom’ and titled ‘The Snow Bear’ below the image, and is housed in a light-toned wooden frame. Below it, to the left, is a smaller, squarish framed print featuring a teddy bear wearing a ruffled collar and holding a stick, matted in light grey with a gold accent line, within a light natural wood frame. To the right, a vertically oriented framed print presents four charming vignettes of children playing with animals and dolls, accompanied by the text: “PETER, MY PUP, WON’T BE FRIENDS WITH TEDDY. ISN’T IT NAUGHTY OF HIM?”. This print is presented with a double mat within a reddish-brown wooden frame.
Width of smaller framed prints: approximately 23.5 cm each
