We have been dealers for 25 years specialising in smaller works of art including miniatures and standing at a variety of antique shows including the NEC. For the past 8 years we have been acquiring larger portraits by major artists with a view to expansion into a field which has always been of great interest. We believe that good portraits add a sophisticated focus to any home or venue. We are also noticing that designers are just starting to use them again as the awful cult of minimalism fades. We have now managed to put together some 30 fine portraits dating mostly from the 18th and 19th century. They include works by or attributed to Medina, Kneller, Hone, Kettle, Hoppner, Watson Gordon and others.Completion of the collection coincides with the opening of this web site and complements more minor offerings on E-Bay which we have been running for the past year. Our 100% satisfaction record of sales of over 100 items to separate purchasers on our site “billingantiques” is encouraging our expansion. We may well expand our new web site to include such items as miniature portraits or smaller landscapes in due course. The displayed list of some 30 items has simple descriptions. More detailed ones plus prices can be obtained on request either through our e-mail: enquiry@chantryfinearts.co.uk or by phone 01604 406143 (Northampton) or 0207 2226406 (London). All works are stored in Northampton and can be viewed on request. All are in excellent condition and have been cleaned and re-lined where necessary.
