The panels have metal fasteners on the back and are ready to hang on the wall.
Condition: true vintage condition. There are scuffs, scratches, small chips of the coating, subsequent age and small holes/dots on the surface. The wood also shows natural joints and traces of aging. All nuances are well shown in the photographs and are taken into account in the price.
It is these traces of age that give the panels a characteristic antique look.
According to auction catalogs, similar works by B. D'Arte F. Conz belong to vintage decorative wooden panels of the 20th century. The inscriptions and historical dates on the images themselves reproduce ancient plots and are not the date of manufacture of the panels.
A beautiful and unusual set for a collector, lover of steam locomotives, British railway souvenirs, vintage/retro decor, as well as for decorating an office, pub, cafe, bar or country house
