Title: Need Help Identifying Karl Briullov Russian Painter: Romantic - Elephant Folio?
Post by: CarriageHouse on February 12, 2013, 03:09:58 PM

Hi -

I'm working with a client to identify personal property and this I believe is called an "Elephant Folio" for the Russian painter Karl Briullov (Romantic Period).

I believe this collection of prints or lithographs is old and rare.

Can anyone assist me with more information and what this folio might be worth.

There are roughly 30 select prints or lithographs of Karl Briullov's work housed inside the folio, which measures approx 2' x 3'.

Seeing several editions of this published between 1970 and 1996 and although none exactly the same, none are much more than £40.
These things tend to look more valuable than they are.

Depending on how well his work sells,, you might do better framing the work and selling them if they are signed !!

Can i also add that the value will be affected by the quality of the lithos. An image of one would be fab
