Antique oil paintings and antique watercolours are the choice of many for adding a decorative atmosphere to a space, whether it be domestic or commercial, with many a fine business establishment reinforcing its theme and style with carefully selected artworks.

Our range encompasses periods from the 18th and 19th century as well as some vintage and contemporary works, with both oil and watercolours represented in addition to prints, some of which are signed and numbered.

Collectors of art are encouraged to visit our website, or better-still our showrooms, and view our collections as new examples are being added all the time as works are sold and move on.

Original oils sit next to signed, limited edition prints and tastefully accomplished watercolours by leading UK and international artists in the Regent Antiques gallery of painting and prints - for sale to our customers, worldwide.

Some of the works on offer are antiques and some date from more recent times, but you can be sure of their value and authenticity in a world where, like antiques generally, age does not always dictate value.

Antique Oil Paintings at Regent Antiques

Our North London showrooms are usually well-stocked with oil paintings from well-known artists who operated in the 18th and 19th centuries, as well as a few more recent works. With prices to suit most pockets, this is a great place to start your art collection and, as paintings are by their very nature one-off articles, we strongly advise you to visit us regularly - either in person or via the website, and look at the new arrivals in this category. Many of our customers are just waiting for the right painting to come long and when it does it will be gone in an instant. Our email notification service will help you to avoid this by giving you the “heads up” when a new painting comes into stock.

Landscapes are one of the most popular types of painting that we stock and we regularly offer works by artists such as Carelli, Pollentine, Muller and Ficklin, whose work is appreciating in value but still affordable. We can’t make any guarantees of course but works by these and some of the other notable artists that we regularly offer for sale are likely to increase in value in the medium to long term and represent a solid, if not totally risk free, investment.

Always take a few minutes to speak to our in-house experts and ask any questions that you may have. Buying a painting is not like buying an item of antique furniture. The furniture has a use and you will get value from it in one way or another whereas a painting generally represents a decorative piece as well as an investment.

Although landscapes are the mainstay of our antique oil painting collection that we offer for sale, there are other styles represented including portraits and still life works. We never know what will arrive today or get sold tomorrow, so regular vigilant checking is definitely something you should be doing as often as you can.

Antique Watercolours

Although oil paintings form the larger part of our range, watercolours are far from being just a second thought. We usually have a choice of landscapes in watercolour and the cost of acquisition is usually lower than that of antique oil paintings.

Antique Prints & Contemporary Prints

Prints are popular as a way to own great artwork without the capital investment that can be the case with antique oil paintings and other original works. Our range of prints, many of which are limited, signed and numbered editions, is largely contemporary and includes interesting and unusual items that will appeal to specialist collectors and art lovers in general.

Pay a Visit to Our Showrooms Yourself and Take a Look at Our Antique Occasional Tables for Yourself

If you see an antique painting, perhaps a Victorian oil painting or something earlier or maybe an antique watercolour work or other piece of artwork that you would like to buy please be assured that our specialist team will pack it very carefully and ship it to almost any destination worldwide. We always ask you to please request a shipping quotation first though, quoting the unique reference number on the item’s description page, unless you are located in the UK mainland where we are able to ship to you free of charge.

Our North London showrooms and gallery are open to the public for viewing every weekday between the hours of 10am to 5pm and we also open occasionally on Saturdays. See the homepage of this site for our latest opening hours, including our latest Saturday opening arrangements. You don’t need an appointment but if you want to speak to one of our experts then it is worth calling in advance to make sure that there is someone on hand as the team are often out of town on buying trips.

The showroom is easy to find and is close to rail and public transport links. You will always find many examples of beautiful antique paintings, but if you are travelling to see a particular painting or print please call first to make sure that it is still available.

If you cannot visit the showroom and you have questions about any of our antique oil paintings, vintage paintings and prints or other item or items then you are welcome to contact us by telephone or email using the contact details found at the top of every product description page. Please also quote the item reference when contacting us.

Please be sure to check our notes as to the condition and dimensions of the antique painting or print you wish to buy before purchasing and use the photographs to satisfy yourself regarding the item’s condition.

Finally, please don’t forget to sign up for our free new item notification service which means we will send to you weekly notifications of any fresh arrivals that appear in your categories of interest, giving you an edge over other customers when you are looking for items which are in great demand - please click HERE to receive these notifications.

Antique Collection Grand Tour Classical Intaglios G Liberotti Circa1820 19th C

Antique Collection Grand Tour Classical Intaglios G Liberotti Circa1820 19th C

A collection of 60 Grand Tour plaster intaglios in the original three-tier birch box, the upper tier with the key to the intaglios pasted under the cover, signed G. Liberotti, Roma and dating from Circa 1820. A set with the same distinct acid-green lining paper is in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. This set of plaster-cast (white gesso) impressions of European masterpieces was created by Giovanni Liberotti, a nineteenth-century Roman gem engraver that specialized in making these souvenirs. Liberotti had been initially commissioned to make these impressions based on gems in the collection of Giovanni Battista Soomariva (1760–1826), a noted art patron and collector extraordinaire. Later Liberotti and other competitors would market the boxed sets in Rome to eager tourists. Each box has the impressions glued to an interior board on one side and a handwritten list in Italian of the "Selected Works," which lists each piece's name, artist, and, on occasion, location on the other side.  We have become so accustomed to documenting our trips by taking photos with our phones that it is hard to imagine a time when there were no smartphones, let alone cameras, but travel for pleasure and edification existed long before there were any cameras. From the sixteenth through the nineteenth century, many people widened their cultural horizons by going on what was known as a Grand Tour, where travelers would visit all the major European cities such as Rome, Florence, Venice and Paris. Instead of photographs, they came away with visual aide-mémoires, like these volumes, that helped to remind them of the glorious art work that they had seen abroad.   It is a surprise to note that these miniatures are not just copies of ancient cameos and gems, but many are miniature reproductions of huge paintings, including The Last Supper by Leonardo da Vinci (La Cena di Gesu con gli apostoli di Leonardo da Vinci Milano), and monumental sculptures, such as works by Antonio Canova and Bertel Thorvaldsen.   Nothing is more impressive than the original engraver's ability here to capture the very essence and detail of the larger masterpieces in such miniature intaglios. It is not surprising that Goethe himself "owned many thousands of casts and told his correspondents years later that no greater treasure could be brought back from Rome." The subjects are predominantly from Classical Antiquity with period busts and classical scenes.   Add a classical element to your home with these lovely intaglios. Condition: In really excellent condition, please see photos for confirmation.

Antique Painting Madonna & Child & 39 Paoletti and Ferretti& 39 19th Century

Antique Painting Madonna & Child 'Paoletti and Ferretti' 19th Century

This is a beautiful oil on canvas painting after Raphael, depicting the Madonna and Child in the original giltwood Florentine frame, Circa 1880 in date. It bears a label to the reverse of stretcher, 'Paoletti and Ferretti, Painters, Copies and Original Pictures, Via dei Fossi No 15'.  Ferretti e Paoletti was a commercial art gallery recorded as being in operation at this address in 1880, see ‘Indicatore generale della città di Firenze amministrativo, commerciale, artistico, industriale e stradale’ (Tip. Galletti e Cocci, Florence, 1880 p.105. ) The painting is a traditional depiction of the "Madonna and Child," a theme widely represented in Christian art, especially during the Renaissance and Baroque periods. Based on the style and composition, it appears to be influenced by the works of famous Renaissance artists such as Raphael who was known for his serene and idealized portrayals of the Virgin Mary and the infant Jesus. The overall composition, soft colors, and serene expressions evoke the influence of artists like Raphael, known for his balanced and graceful Madonna depictions. The gold ornate frame emphasizes the importance and sacredness of the figures, further enhancing the religious context. The muted palette—dominated by deep blues and reds—symbolizes Mary's purity (blue) and Christ's future sacrifice (red). The subtle lighting highlights the faces of both figures, focusing the viewer's attention on their expressions, which convey a tender yet solemn interaction. This type of intimate depiction of Mary and Christ reflects the Renaissance period's humanistic approach to religious figures, portraying them with a sense of warmth and accessibility. Provenance: Dunkirk Manor, see photo.   It is a beautiful  and spiritual painting which will grace any room in your home. Condition: In excellent condition the painting and frame having been beautifully cleaned  in our workshops, please see photos for confirmation.

Antique Painting Our Lady of The Rosary After Bartolomé Murillo 175x125c 19th C

Antique Painting Our Lady of The Rosary After Bartolomé Murillo 175x125c 19th C

A large Spanish oil on canvas of Our Lady of The Rosary after Bartolomé  Esteban Murillo, early 19th century in date. It features the Virgin Mary holding baby Jesus in her arms, she is dressed in a flowing traditional costume set against the background of an ancient building. This superbly accomplished painting is executed in the style of Murillo's later works where he continued to evolve to the very end. In the last decade of his life, Murillo took Rubens's lesson even closer to heart, during this period his brushwork became looser and more visible than ever before, sometimes even to the point that the canvases appear unfinished. Murillo also reduced his palette to the more sober hues of mauve, grey, brown, and carmine, making his late style more refined than in any previous period.   His style of painting the street children of his native Seville was unprecedented. He employed great naturalism, employing a sombre palette and strong chiaroscuro, contrasting lights and darks, and very little background detail. They are caught, like a photographic snapshot, playing or eating, but are very rarely aware of an onlooker.   This magnificent painting is housed in a striking gilded frame decorated with acanthus leaves. It is beautifully executed and as such would make a lovely addition to your collection.    Condition: In really excellent condition the painting and frame having been beautifully cleaned, please see photos for confirmation.
