A Royal Salute at the Tower
of London
Oil on canvas
Image size: 81 x 106 cm (2 ft 8 x 3 ft 5¾ in)
Framed size: 100 x 126 cm (3 ft 3½ x 4 ft 1½ in)
Comment: An interesting but unsigned late
20thC painting of a late 18thC-early 19thC
view
of a canon being fired from the Tower of London. This is
possibly a Royal
62 Gun Salute, indicated by the presence
of the Royal Standard which is only flown
when the reigning
monarch is visiting or residing at a royal palace.
Acknowledgement: With thanks
to the Tower of London Visitor Services for their help
in identifying the possible subject.
Currently available and priced at £2,500 |

SCHOOL
A Continental Riverscape
Watercolour on paper
Date: Mid-Late 19th Century
Inscription: Unsigned
Image size: 63 x 96cm
(2 ft 2¾ x 3 ft 1¾ in)
Framed size: 99.5 x 130 cm (3 ft 3¼ x 4 ft 3¼ in)
Comment: Considering the technical
difficulty of painting in watercolour, this is
a particularly
high quality example of such an unusually large piece.
Currently available and priced at £3,750 |
The
three paintings shown above are all BIG. We've used
a bottle of
claret
as a device to indicate how large
they are since we're all familiar with
a standard 75cl
bottle of red wine (this one just happens to be a 1996
Château Mouton Rothschild, and very nice too). |
There it is, a big empty wall space. And a big empty wall space
often needs a big picture to fill it in order to:
 |
ADD THE WOW FACTOR: A
large work can act as a focal point that immediately draws
the visitor's attention.
|
|
ADD AMBIENCE: To
a home or office space. |
|
REFLECT YOUR PERSONALITY: Whether
with a vibrant, coloured portrait or a calmer, more sober
landscape.
|
|
BE IMPRESSIVE: One big painting can
often have a greater visual impact over several smaller ones.
|
|
ACT AS A 'CONVERSATION PIECE': Large
works often become 'conversation pieces' in their own right.
|
|
BE INTRIGUING: Due
to their impressive scale, one often finds oneself drawn
back time and again to a large painting, discovering something
new or interpreting it differently as a result.
|
So, if you think that one of these paintings
would suitably fill that big empty wall space, please give
us a call and we will happily bring it to you to have a look
at in
situ, at
no cost and with absolutely no obligation to purchase.
Best wishes
