An Autographed Letter (measures 7 1/4" x 10 1/2" [18 x 27 cm]) (Learn More)

Sir John Gielgud was an English actor from the 1920s to the 2000s. He acted primarily on the stage but had occasional film roles over many decades, and is widely considered one of the finest Shakespearean actors ever! Some of his movies include: Arthur (winner of the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film), Romeo & Juliet (1954), Becket (nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film), and Gandhi. He passed away in 2000 at the age of 96.
Important Added Info: Note that this letter (which is on his printed stationery) has been personally autographed (signed) by John Gielgud! Also included is the envelope this letter was originally mailed in. Our consignor is a dealer who purchased this signed item (together with others we are currently auctioning) from the estate of a South American collector who collected signed items and many other collectibles over several decades, and that collector had many extremely valuable items, both signed and unsigned. Our consignor does not have a certificate of authenticity, but because they came from the estate of this collector, we think it is extremely likely the signature is authentic.

As is true of all the signed items we are currently auctioning, we give every buyer 30 days in which to review what they purchased (although we prefer they do any "authenticating" while the auction is "live" and before they place a bid) and they can return any item as long as it is within 30 days of the end of the auction. On non-signed items, we give a "lifetime guarantee" on everything we auction, but on signed items, we give the above modified guarantee of 30 days after the auction closes.

Condition: very good.
