4.2 Descriptions
Items are described according to our best ability and knowledge. Statements by War & Son on the website, whether description, context or condition, made orally or in writing elsewhere, regarding the authorship, origin, date, age, size, medium, attribution, genuineness, provenance or condition are merely statements of opinion and are not to be relied on as statements of definitive fact. War & Son’s images are for guidance only and should not be relied on either to determine the tone or colour of any item or to reveal imperfections. Many items are of an age or nature which precludes their being in perfect condition and some descriptions or condition reports may refer to damage and/or restoration. We provide this information for guidance only and the absence of such a reference does not imply that an item is free from defects or restoration, nor does a reference to particular defects imply the absence of any others.
