FRED'S HOME
HAND SIGNED BY DAVID WINTER
CHRISTMAS SPECIAL 1991
HAND MADE & HAND PAINTED
IN THE STUDIOS AND WORKSHOPS OF
JOHN HINE LTD., HAMPSHIRE, GREAT BRITAIN
COMES IN
ORIGINAL BOX WITH CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY
David Winter's special piece for Christmas 1991 is inspired by the Charles Dickens story that we all know and love. "Merry Christmas, uncle Ebenezer" said Scrooge's nephew Fred, "and a happy New Year."
This beautiful David Winter Cottage is from the private Collection of a member of the US Airforce, who decided to sell her beautiful David Winter Collection hoping to generate enough funds to help fulfill a life-long dream. As her David Winter collection has accompanied her to all her assignments, she had to mark the Box with her rank, name, unit and AFB address. The label at the base of the David Winter Cottage also bears her name for the same reason. The piece has also been hand-signed by David Winter at the bottom of the cottage. As David signed the felt at the base more than 13 years ago, the signature has slightly faded. As David used a dark pen on dark green felt, it was extremely difficult to capture the signature in a picture (see image two)
The Cottage has only been displayed behind glass and is as such in wonderful Condition. One brick on the top layer of the main chimney is all white on the outside. Even though it appears to be chipped at first glance, this white brick is merely a production error: it has not been painted in the same grey tone as the other bricks.
The Certificate of Authenticity has been folded and is therefore creased. The reverse of the Certificate bears a small circular pencil mark, where David was making sure that the pen he used to sign the cottage was working. This is a highly valuable addition to every David Winter Collection, as it has been hand-signed by the artist himself ! More wonderful David Winter Cottages are available in my eBay Store

HAPPY BIDDING
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
