BILL & NANCY'S HOUSE
D1054
THE OLIVER TWIST CHRISTMAS COLLECTION
HAND MADE & HAND PAINTED IN THE UNITED KINGDOM
DAVID WINTER 1999
LICENSEE ENESCO CORPORATION
ORIGINAL BOX & CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY
This wonderful Cottage is from David Winter's Oliver Twist Christmas Collection 1999. The House of Bill Sikes and Nancy, as David has envisaged it, may once have been the home to decent, respectable people, but those days are long gone. Standing bleak, cold and uncared-for in the snows of winter, it epitomises the lives of those who inhabit it. The brutal and ruthless Sikes has never exhibited a vestige of humanity, except perhaps to his dog. "He treats you like a dog! worse than a dog, for he humours him sometimes," observes the wily Fagin to the unhappy Nancy, who has been so dehumanised by Sikes that her conscience is all but extinguished. When she does make an attempt to save Oliver, she is battered to death by her loathsome partner. A suggestion of the horrors that this house has witnessed is evocatively captured in David's sculpture. A pristine covering of snow on its roof cannot conceal its essentially sinister character. or is that simply because we know what lies in the room upstairs?
The beautiful David Winter Collectible is from the private Collection of a member of the US Airforce, who decided to sell her beautiful David Winter Collection wishing to generate enough funds to help fulfill a life-long dream. She was the first and only owner of this piece, which has only been displayed behind glass and is as such in wonderful Condition - a truly precious addition to every David Winter Collection.

AFTERNOON DAYDREAMS
TERMS & CONDITIONS - Please, read carefully, before placing your bid.
Bidding constitutes acceptance of the Terms & Conditions Payment must be received within SEVEN Calendar Days of auction closing. Failure to submit payment within the stipulated time frame will result in initiating eBay's Unpaid Item Process and re-listing of the item. Chasing slow payers is too time consuming, hence I am no longer prepared to do so.
After the auction has ended, I will e-mail you with the total amount due including postage and packaging costs, stating accepted payment methods. You will be required to reply to this notification e-mail within TWO Calendar Days and advise which payment method you wish to utilize as well as your full mailing address. If I do not hear from you within the stipulated time frame, the item will be offered to the reserve bidder or it will be re-listed. This has been introduced due to an increasing number of wasted auctions. You expect me to ship the Item without any delays, and therefore, I can expect to receive payment without any delays. If you anticipate payment delays and have a valid reason for such delayed payment, please INFORM me accordingly and ASK for an extension of payment deadlines. As long as you are honest and communicative, we can make special arrangements to extend the deadline. Pro-active Buyers will contact me BEFORE they place their bid (or immediately after placing their bid) informing me about anticipated payment delays. If you are bidding on more than one of my auctions, and you would like me to consolidate multiple items once all of those auctions have ended, you are still required to notify me accordingly within the stated time frame. If you wish to combine Shipment on multiple Auctions, the last Auction you are bidding on has to end within 4 days of the first Auction you have placed a bid on, in order to qualify for combined Shipment. Any Auctions ending outside the stipulated time frame do not qualify for consolidated Shipment.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING
