I'm looking to buy, sell and trade a variety of Rumph pieces. Email photos and asking prices of pieces you may have available and i will do the same. Ask and i may have the piece your looking for or maybe have some info on where to find 1
The good thing about the paint restore is that its not that difficult. I should probably do 1 of mine if i get time, but i restore statuary occasionaly as well as create m own.These shelves have excellent detail and using a drybrush technique is all you need to bring these to their origional beauty.Because the warp isnt too bad on yours and there doesnt seem to be any stress cracks, you should be ok in the display aspect.Of my 4, only 1 lies completely flat against the wall, the other have a gap of 1/2 to 1"from the wall on the top.I will eventually get pics of my collection up.Unlike most collectors that have their pieces designated to 1 area, i have mine all over my house and in my gallery.
If your looking for a particular Rumph piece to buy, sell or trade, drop me a line at [email protected]. I can also drop off or pickup in the MA/CT area. Currently selling a barbaric shelf & beastly bookshelf, but trying to eliminate the boxing and shipping aspect.
Hello Steve...i believe that the bend is a warp from either bad storage or pressure.The 4 that i have are all straight.If you send a picture i can give you a better idea, especially if there are stress cracks or damage at the curve.
