Description

The great Italian praises “the excellence of your wines” in Paris

ALS in French, signed “G. Rossini,” one page, 6 x 9, June 6, 1859. Letter to Monsieur Worms. In part (translated): "I was well satisfied with the price lists you had sent to me. There is [only] the excellence of your wines with which I am ex[perienced] that can rival the honorableness of your rectitude in business matters. I congratulate you. As far as I am concerned it is the best and the surest way to be fav[ored] in the wine business. In anticipation of the pleasure of s[eeing] you, accept the expression of my kind regards.” Nicely double-matted and framed with the original mailing envelope addressed in Rossini’s hand and an unsigned portrait to an overall size of 18 x 16.5. Repaired partial separations to intersecting folds, paper loss along right edge affecting portions of a few words, a few small repaired areas of paper loss at intersections, a few small edge tears, and stray ink blots throughout, otherwise very good condition. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
