ACTOR WEARING AN ELABORATE FEZ AND FALSE BEARD
DAGUERREOTYPE $2500. USD
Some of you may see this differently, but our take on this image is that it's theatrical. The fez is exquisite, and the beard is an enigma.
SIZE. Sixth plate.
HOUSING. Split case. Front has mother of pearl inlay.
CONDITION. Resealed (not by us). Small parallel scratches below his beard, some of which are more apparent when tilted. Other light scratches elsewhere. Halo of tarnish. Noticeable mat abrasions.
APPEARANCE. Bright. Excellent contrast. Vibrant gold. Sharp details. Unusual content.
