This antique watercolor set contains mostly color from the name defunct English brand “Newman’s”. It is obvious that this set was once used on a regular basis by an artist due to the fact it contains pan ceramics of other brands such as Rowney as well as W & N. Some of the highlights of this set are as follows. Vermilion (estimated, I have no reason to believe otherwise and this paint cake is heavy too, also there is a Vermilion label in the box). One hell of a rare find if it is Orpiment! ^^^These 4 paint cakes are all very heavy, typical of lead/ mercury/ arsenic based paints. Definitely 4 rare colors as well. The Orange Lead is in great condition! Also are a few more common colors by Newman’s. Comes with some empty ceramic paint pans, and some with a little bit of paint including a Cerulean Blue by Rowney. A few other random bits in there as well. Everything comes in a nice little compact original wooden paint box likely also made by Newman’s. This is the first time ive seen a compact mini set like this from this era. Perfect for any serious collection! WARNING- CONTAINS LEAD, MERCURY, ARSENIC! Date – Late 1800′s – Early 1900′s (estimated). Condition – Conditions vary, all paint can still be used. Box in decent shape considering age. Size – Large paint cakes. STANDARD – UPS = FREE (Tracking included).
