Royal House Antiques
Royal House Antiques is delighted to offer for sale this lovely, super rare Lithograph print signed in pencil by the artist Corneille and EA for “épreuve d’artiste,” meaning Artist’s Proof in French and dated 87.
I have two Corneille prints, the other is of a lady with a tiger, this sale is for the piece mentioned above only, the other is listed under my other items and not included in this sale.
As mentioned this one is very rare due to it being signed EA, E.A. stands for “épreuve d’artiste,” meaning Artist’s Proof in French. Artist Proofs are generally valued higher than other prints in the edition, due to the rarity and small quantity of them. Oftentimes the Artist Proof are altered from the final edition, creating a uniqueness to them that is very desirable.
Corneille was a Dutch Postwar & Contemporary artist who was born in 1922.Their work is currently being shown at multiple venues like NMK, Hutten-Czapski Museum in Krakow.
Numerous key galleries and museums such as Dellupi Arte Gallery have featured Corneille’s work in the past.
Corneille’s work has been offered at auction multiple times, with realized prices ranging from 10 USD to 300,251 USD, depending on the size and medium of the artwork.
Since 1998 the record price for this artist at auction is 300,251 USD for Personnage dans une ville avec aeroplane, sold at Christie’s Amsterdam in 2008.
Corneille has been featured in articles for New York Times, ARTFIXdaily and Reuters. The most recent article is Art Elysées : Design & co written for Art Media Agency in October 2015.The artist died in 2010.
A very good looking and decorative piece, this is the height of contemporary cool and for a very reasonable price.
The condition is excellent so far as I can see, there will be some patina to the frame but nothing you wouldn’t expect due to the age.

CONDITION
Please view the very detailed pictures as they form part of the description pertaining to the condition. Please also ask any questions before you bid and not after, all of our items are sold as seen and as listed
Royal House Antiques cannot be held liable for any independent assumptions made regarding the items we sell, if you are unsure on any point, please feel free to ask for clarity
Please note vintage period and original items such as leather seating will always have natural patina in the form of creasing and wear, we recommend annual waxing to ensure no moisture is lost, also hand dyed leather is not recommended to sit in direct sunlight for prolonged periods of time as it will dry out and fade
IMPORT DUTY
Most countries charge some kind of import duty however almost all of our items won’t incur any charges as the items are exempt from tax due to the age and materials used
For European deliveries the price you will be quoted will include all clearance documentation and any customs charges so there won’t be any additional fees
For international deliveries such as the United States there can be some import duty to pay and or a clearance fee, I would estimate that 99% of all deliveries clear customs without being stopped for either
All duties are the responsibility of the purchaser who is the importer, they can’t be covered by the seller or shipping agent or factored in with additional retrospective discounts
RETURNS
Royal House Antiques offers a no quibble return policy if the item is not as described, if there are any issues with the piece you will be refunded in full once the item has been returned and inspected within 14 days, alternatively if there is a small issue, we can discuss finding a mutual resolution that makes all parties happy
We don’t offer a sale on approval service which means you can purchase the item, have it delivered and if you simply don’t like it, return it, this comes under change of mind or doesn’t fit. There is a lot of time, money and work involved in transporting goods around the world, the costs incurred can be vast so my advice would be if you are unsure on a piece please ask as many questions as you like to make sure you understand everything before you buy, if you are still unsure then please either arrange a viewing in person or if that’s not possible then don’t buy from an online retailer, perhaps look for a local gallery instead
