I remember the feeling you described. In my earlier days 94/95 when I was around the corner from Berkeley Sq I used to get tonnes of work from Sotheby's one morning I got, one folder original drawings from Picasso (pen and ink on the back of a menu) Klimt pencil line drawing , you could still see the graphite glistening, a Matisse and a powerful Egon Schiele drawing of a young boy. " Just remount them and put them back into their plain wooden (stock) frames " BUT ... BUT ...BUT ...UMMMM OKAY.

but it's not all frustration some of my customers let me loose sometimes! HA HA HA
this one was an original pen and ink by EH Shepard only 35mm square, used for a title page . the leaves were a compo pressing from a block I used to have 23.5 ct water gilded on an mdf base(
) all archival internals though.
A bit ott maybe but if your the emperor who's to argue!

Don't it make you sick.
