All items, paintings, antiques and rarities that are on this site were not purchased for the purpose of selling to prospective buyers. Nothing was acquired for inventory, nor purchased unless I intended to enjoy them in some historical or pleasure seeking way. I wouldn't want to part with any of these items, but it is time for me to release them for others to enjoy. I have a strong belief that any items acquired from my collection have the strong potential to maintain and exceed the purchase price. This is my personal and knowledgeable opinion, not to be deemed a guarantee in any manner. Thank You! Bart Tarulli Owner 7 Continents Art & Antiques
