Here at country house fine art
We have been selling antiques for over 30 years both from premises and online.
In this time we have sold to many private clients, who often are repeat buyers, along with museums, galleries etc.What gives us the greatest pleasure is re aquainting portraits to family members.

Now selling solely online we offer a varied selection of fine art individually chosen, many from country house sales and with excellent provenance.

All our paintings are checked before sale and any restoration carried out to make sure the painting is in the best possible condition for its age. Frames are usualy original and are again restored where necessary .
