"I am always happy to combine shipping whenever safely possible to save you money!"
I will be offering you many fine examples of David Winter Cottages. David is a gifted English sculptor whose charming creations bring a fanciful British countryside to life. Fact and fiction seamlessly blend in the incredibly details of each cottage or castle. Most if not all of these were purchased near their original creation date in the 80's and 90's by a military serviceman currently living in American but then stationed in Great Britain, and brought back safely in their original boxes with paperwork. Some still have the original sales write-ups, some are signed. I am selling directly as purveyor from this original owner. Please check my other listings for more!
This listing is for the highly detailed "Hertford Court" from the Regions collection and copyright dated 1983. This quaint but imposing home was for a successful self-made man, perhaps a merchant in high standing, with great social standing in his community. The individual, seemingly out-of-proportion chimneys and multiple staircases were typical of the 17th century that this cottage design represents. Green baize with label and number 6 sticker (probably the baizer's no.)
This piece is found in the original box with paperwork: cautionary removal instructions, named and dated (20 Feb 1991) packer's slip, Certificate of Authenticity specific to "Hertford Court". The date on the pack slip is so much later than the copyright that it's possible the original owner inadvertently mixed them, but this is how I found it. Hand made and hand painted in the Studios & Workshops of John Hine, Hampshire, Great Britain.
Approx. Height 6" by Width 6"
Weight without box or packaging 32 oz. Will ship over 3 pounds.
Condition as in photos, this is the exact item you will receive. Very good clean condition in original box. I notice one tiny paint flake to a corner of a tile on the roof with the lowest chimney which is completely invisible in the photographs and so mentioned for accuracy. Yes, I nitpick ;) I do not "doctor" photos to conceal perceived flaws; I consider them an important part of the description.
If you win more than one of my auctions, I will combine shipping when safely possible and send you an invoice reflecting the reduced postage. The more you buy, the more you save, and the savings are usually substantial. I don't upcharge on postage, but eBay DOES charge sellers a commission fee on postage(!) besides the item sold, so the better I can do for you, the less it costs me as well. Win-Win!
I know shipping can be high, so I pass on my personal seller discounts to you, the buyer. I also use ample amounts of wrapping materials to protect your items during shipping and there is never a hidden charge for handling or packaging materials! Priority shipping includes free insurance; if your item is shipping First Class or other method I will add insurance at buyer's request. I cannot be held responsible for items once they have left my hands.
Feel free to ask questions or request additional photos before you bid!
