CONDITION

 

CCAG does not accept returns on the basis of condition. It is the buyer’s responsibility to inquire as to the condition of a specific lot prior to bidding.  CCAG does not include condition in the description of the lot. Please email all condition requests to info@crescentcityauctiongallery.com and include all contact information. Condition requests are answered in the order received. Condition reports will not be given by telephone under any circumstances.

 

The deadline to submit condition report requests is 5p.m. on the Wednesday before the auction. Following that time, CCAG cannot assure completion of the condition report prior to auction. Condition requests placed on auction day will not be answered.  CCAG reserves the right to close the Condition Report desk at any time.

 

Do not bid if you have not received a condition report. All potential buyers should be sure they have read and agree to the Conditions of Sale.

 

If you are interested in obtaining a shipping quote for a piece of artwork, please note that all dimensions contained in CCAG’s art descriptions are of the art only and do not include the frame. CCAG will provide dimensions with the frame upon request.
