House of Time
wood and plaster sculpture with electric fixture in shadow box
signed, dated 1993, and titled on back
ht. 33.5, wd. 25.5, dp. 6.75 in. (box size)
Not all of the lights work: the outer ring of stars, comprised of five bulbs does not illuminate. Additionally, there is a bulb missing from the crescent moon. It is possible that it is the missing bulb in the moon that prevents the others from lighting. There are two dimmer switches on the side of the shadow box; one controls the light behind the skyscraper as well as the bulbs within the stars, the other controls the light behind the figure behind the rose window. There are a few scuffs to the exterior of the case, particularly on the bottom, and two minuscule sections of paint loss to the frame of the rose window to the rigth of the figure. There are also some light scratches to the plexiglass.

Please note that a condition report is only an opinion, given as a courtesy, and should not be treated as a statement of fact. Cowan's Auctions shall have no responsibility for any error or omission.
SHIPPING. At the request of the buyer, Cowan's will authorize the shipment of purchased items, which usually ship within two weeks after payment has been received. Shipment is generally made via UPS or Fed-Ex Ground. Unless buyer gives special instructions, the shipping method shall be at the sole discretion of Cowan's. Cowan's is in no way responsible for the acts or omissions of independent handlers, packers or shippers of purchased items or for any loss, damage or delay from the packing or shipping of any property.
Property made of or containing certain plant or animal materials, such as coral, crocodile, ivory, whalebone, baleen, tortoiseshell, etc., may require a license or certificate before exportation from the United States and importation to another country. If you are purchasing items that contain these materials, you need to check the government wildlife import requirements in the countries from which and to which the item is being shipped prior to bidding. Since the export and import licenses are independently issued by the countries of origin and destination, obtaining one does not guarantee that you can obtain the other. Purchasers are responsible for making timely payments on items won at auction, even if a license is delayed or denied.
Cowan's is happy to provide a shipping estimate in advance of the auction. Please contact Cowan's Auctions by email at shipping@cowans.com, or call 513.871.1670 (ext.19).
SHIPPING CHARGES. Buyers are required to pay for all packing, shipping and insurance charges. Overseas duty charges are the responsibility of the successful bidder. Be aware that for larger and/or valuable items, shipping charges can be substantial.
