AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A XXL lot composed of antique typographic characters, provenance Italy, early 20th century.
Material: wood. The letters are loose; you can freely compose the creation you want. Attention: there is no drawer or frame included, only typographic characters as shown in the exhaustive photos.
.
Very good condition with signs of wear consistent with the material and period.
Various sizes ranging from 15 cm for the tallest and a thickness of about 2.3 cm, up to 3 cm in height for the smallest; widths vary.
It will be carefully packed and shipped by trackable mail.
The listed shipping costs cover not only courier door-to-door delivery but also all materials such as cardboard, tape and any bubble wrap or paper, plus the time needed to prepare the lot, such as cleaning, arranging and handling of the item.
Please note all the photos; they are an integral part of the description.
The letters have been cleaned and superficially brushed of residues from the inking process.
Shipping to smaller European islands is not possible where you would not agree to subsequently add the extra tariff requested by the couriers, using the internal Catawiki platform chat. This amount changes too often and depends on location.
