Photographs signed 'Christine Noel'

This set of photographs features two distinct mounted prints displayed on a wooden surface. On the left is a black and white photograph depicting a ship's deck, showing nautical elements such as a large helm wheel, wooden planking, and metallic apparatuses. The print is framed inside a dark mat with a thin gold inner border. In the lower right corner of the photograph, there appears to be a visible signature reading 'Christine Noel'. On the right is a color photograph showing coastal waves crashing against rocky terrain, capturing white sea foam and textured stones in daylight. Both pieces appear to be in good visual condition with clean borders and no immediately apparent tears, heavy fading, or structural damage, though full physical condition cannot be fully verified from the image alone. The owner attributes these pieces as a set of pressed photographs by Christine Noel, but this user-supplied attribution remains unverified by physical inspection or documentation. The style suggests contemporary photographic art focusing on marine and coastal themes.

Based on what I can see in the provided images, this lot consists of two mounted photographic prints displayed on a wooden surface, featuring a black and white nautical deck scene and a color coastal wave view. Per user submission: attributed to a set of pressed photographs by Christine Noel, and the lower right corner of the left print bears a signature reading 'Christine Noel'. However, I cannot verify from a photo whether the signature or attribution is correct, as visible markings can sometimes be misread or forged. My appraisal estimate assumes the owner's claim is correct, projecting a market value range of $300 to $600 for items of this type. If the attribution is incorrect, or if the pieces turn out to be reproductions, copies, or created simply in the style of the artist rather than being authentic works, the value would likely drop significantly to a purely decorative level of $50 to $150. Based on the visual inspection, both pieces appear to be in good visual condition with clean borders and no immediately apparent tears, heavy fading, or structural damage, though full physical condition cannot be fully verified from the image alone. General market demand for contemporary marine and coastal photographic art varies widely depending on edition size, print quality, and provenance. To confirm authenticity and solidify the value, an in-person examination by a qualified photography expert, alongside provenance documentation or gallery paperwork, would be required.
