Half plate hand-gilt ambrotype three-quarter length portrait. Full leatherette case.
Crystal-clear half plate ambrotype of an unidentified, bearded Confederate officer wearing a light-colored double-breasted frock coat with captain’s insignia clearly visible on the collar. He wears matching trousers and is posed holding a knight’s head militia sword in his right hand. At his waist, the officer has a sash, but no belt. His collar insignia, buttons, gallons, and sword hilt are enhanced with gold gilt paint.
A wonderful portrait in a rare, large format.

Large items, framed pieces, and any item that we are unable to package and ship in-house will be marked in the catalog as being packaged and shipped by a third-party service. Successful bidders winning items marked as being packaged and shipped by a third-party service are responsible for paying the third party directly. We are happy to offer complimentary drop-off service to local third-party packing/shipping companies in Columbus, Ohio. Once an item is dropped off and no longer in our possession, Fleischer's Auctions is not liable for the item's safe handling or shipment to the successful bidder.
