The subject alone sold me and the execution sealed it. The scale works perfectly for A Kalighat Cat and nothing feels cramped.
Thanks for the review, and for trusting us with a gift order. Glad it arrived when it was supposed to.
I'm really pleased with this. The value here is strong even with the shipping cost. I ordered on a Sunday night and it shipped Monday morning. I have my eye on a second one…
The quality here is well beyond what I paid for it. It looks like something you would find in a very good museum shop. I have already ordered two more for other rooms. I would order this again tomorrow.
It shipped fast and arrived exactly as described. The subject of A Kalighat Cat is what sold me, and it delivers. There is a small imperfection near one edge that I have decided to like. Happy customer, and I don’t say that often.
The reproduction quality is the best I have seen anywhere near this price. The smallest marks in A Kalighat Cat are still visible, which is the entire point. The seller replied to my question in under a hour. I have already ordered two more for other rooms. ⭐
