Communication was excellent as was the whole experience. For that reason I have bookmarked the seller as I very much hope to buy from this seller again. I have added a -hoot of the miniature oil paintings so that they can be seen. They are the lower left and right ones flanking the large mirror in the photograph and I am really thrilled to have been sent them.PAIR MAGNIFICENT MINIATURE OIL PORTRAITS IN GILT FRAMES GRAND TOUR (#204549221833)
