as is
condition. The wall hanging is marked on the back with a label that says "Handcrafted by Bovano of Cheshire U.S.A.
". The wall hanging is highly detailed with two enameled shorebird figures standing among brass wire reeds and copper wires that make up the shore, enameled shells, and an enameled starfish. I do not know the official title of this wall hanging, but they look like shorebirds to me - they could be something else. The enameled figures are on what looks to be also on copper. Please see all twelve photos for details. I tried my best to inspect this wall hanging with my magnifying glass. The reason why this wall hanging is being sold in
as is
condition is because I see on the back of each figure some glue (on the back of the birds, shells, and starfish). Because I am not a complete expert on Bovano of Cheshire, I am not completely sure if this glue is original or a repair, but from what I see it looks to be the original glue and is just made this way (please see the photos showing the glue on the back). I also see some greenish oxidation on the brass reeds and copper wire shore. There is some bit of whitish pasty stuff on the copper wire shore, but it looks like paint and looks to be purposely made this way. I also see a line mark on the shell on the right side, but it looks like it was naturally formed when the enameling was made. The enameling looks pretty nice and I do not readily see any cracks or chips. Each figure has rough edges, but they look to be purposely made this way. The wall hanging has some naturally formed flaws that are pretty typical with a handcrafted enameled piece such as black specks, rough edges, crude placement of solder in areas, etc. The wall hanging is pretty good size measuring about 28" wide by about 13" high. The wall hanging is also not completely flat and has some dimension measuring about 3/4" high off the surface. Overall it is still a very striking wall hanging! (if you do not mind the flaws mentioned in the listing and willing to buy it in
as is
condition). I tried my best to describe this wall hanging, but may have not covered everything imaginable. So, if you have any other questions about this
