Dear Ebay buyer,
Please read this letter before you scroll down and be sure to read and understand my descriptions of the paintings that I list on Ebay BEFORE YOU BID
First of all, these paintings are mostly between 100 and 300 years old.
They have come directly or indirectly from the walls of Old English Country Houses and Stately Homes and even Castles.
I describe their condition honestly and mention all defects in the paintings and the frames. I use the same terms of description as used by the top 3 auction houses.
.
If you want something that looks new and in a perfect new frame there are plenty of reproduction paintings on ebay in brand new frames so I suggest this will be more suitable for you.
Should you have a deep pocket, I suggest that you buy at a leading Art Gallery and pay retail price for a fully restored painting costing many TENS OF THOUSANDS of £££’s or $$$’s
What I offer are once in a lifetime buying opportunities.
Within a few years from now there will be fewer old paintings available.
So buy now while I am still sourcing fine works of art.
Some of my regular buyers are art dealers and galleries.
Please also read my footnote at the bottom of the page re. Antique frames.
I offer a full refund if I have wrongly described paintings

IMPORTANT TIPS WHEN ASSESSING PAINTINGS.
Having been in this business for 50 years I know how important it is to study the back of a painting as well as the front.
This is why WE ALWAYS show good clear images of the FULL REVERSE of our paintings.
If a seller does not show the whole reverse of a painting it is because they do not want you to see it.
Much can be read into the back as to the age of the canvas or wood panel.
N.B. I would never buy a painting unless I have seen good clear images of the entire back of the picture.
Also to check if the painting is a modern Chinese factory produced acrylic work done on plywood.
There are many of these new Chinese Paintings being offered on eBay, even by some of the larger “Gallery” sellers.
I find it amazing that some of these painting have sold on Ebay lately for well over £1000-£2000
And one just recently sold for around £8000
They can be bought in the UK for around £100-£400
Some have factory “stock” signatures such as;
George Webster and J Webb for flower paintings or James Hardy for Maritime subjects.
They use many other spurious but interesting sounding names.
Also watch out for inaccurate dating of paintings which can quite often be wrongly dated by 2,3,4 CENTURIES.
This is very common on Ebay even with some of the larger “Gallery” sellers
Quite recently I noticed a “16th Century” painting sold by one of the large “Art Gallery” sellers for many thousands of pounds that in my opinion was less than 100 years old.
