Condition reports are based on visual inspection by the Capsule team under typical office lighting. Unless otherwise noted, items are not examined under UV light in advance of sale. We do not guarantee the content of written or verbal condition reports. Remember, all lots are previously owned and all sales are final. The absence of a condition report does not imply that there are no condition issues with the lot.
Art has not been examined out of the frame unless otherwise stated. Frames, lampshades, or items described as “supplementary” are not considered integral to the value of the lot and are excluded from condition assessments. This includes any mat, mounting, glazing, hanging apparatus, case, box, or stand. Timepiece movements, lighting elements and items with mechanical or electrical components have not been thoroughly tested and are not covered under warranty by Capsule.
Mason Adams, iconic voiceover artist and actor is possibly most easily recognized as the gravelly voice behind the Smucker's commercials ("With a name like Smucker's, it has to be good!"). A fixture in television and radio advertisement voiceovers, Adams's less-known legacy comes in the form of incredible, museum-quality artworks collected in his lifetime. Capsule is excited to be offering works from his collection.
