i4beauty-fine art and antiques

i4beauty-fine art and antiques Est 2009. I love 20th century and earlier art, whether it is an oil painting, a water-colour or a drawing. These may include repairs and alterations.

Sells @ Hemswell Antiques Centre (Dealer 883 in Buildings 2 & 3), The Old Maltings AC, Louth (Dealer i4B - Cabinet 1; Upstairs pitch) & Horncastle AC (Dealer RB - 1st floor pitch) Also on the internet: Vinterior.co; and Meta. Ranging from portraits; landscapes; abstracts and the just plain odd, I buy what I love and then try to pass that enthusiasm on to others. Well made and designed furniture,

and decorative items - especially hand-made items, such as country furniture and studio pottery, also 'float my boat'. The Arts & Crafts movement; Art Nouveau and Art Deco items, as well as mid-century Scandinavian design influenced wares, bring a smile to my face as well. I hold an extensive collections of Art books (many from the Art Library of the late Sir Michael Levy, a former Director of the National Gallery); archaeological journals; a near 40 year run of Lincolnshire Life magazine; 100's of classical music cds, early edition OS maps and sheets (many of Lincolnshire); geological maps, as well as commercial decorative prints (priced from £2 to £20) . If the Caistor Unit, or my other sales outlets, are not open, please phone me on 07376 213229 to arrange to view specific items, or just to browse my stock. If you are looking for something that I do not have, I will look out for you on my extensive travels (A commission of not exceeding 20% may be payable, by prior agreement). Happy to deliver many items locally for nominal cost of fuel, and further afield by agreement. At my Unit 2 Hillcrest Park Caitor Top premises, I do all i can to comply with all H&S and COVID requirements. GUARANTEE
If you buy anything from me that is not as it was described or as held out to be, a no quibble refund will be made, not including any return transport costs. Almost all items sold will have seen considerable prior use, and will bear the marks of such use. I endeavour to indicate anything major or significant, but unless so stated, they will not be in 'as New' condition. I will consider purchasing interesting items related to the items that I sell. I would be happy to recommend reliable colleagues in the trade where I am not interested in purchasing, and also to give advice regarding the disposal of items. Selling from Caistor, Horncastle, Old Maltings AC, Louth, Hemswell, and from October 2020 from rented space in Market Rasen! "ABOUT STORY"

An outwardly straightforward C19th mahogany chest of drawers. It has a few losses to the beading on a couple of drawers but is lifted by the original ebony k***s.
More importantly this chest divides into two parts - they being held in place by small dowels. This makes it ideal for use in small cottages and the like which have narrow twisting staircases.
It can be seen at my 1st floor pitch (RB) at Horncastle Antiques Centre and is priced at around £250.

A wonderful large atmospheric watercolour from acclaimed Lake District artist Jim Ridout, b. 1946.
Having trained at Camberwell College of Art, he spent 20 years painting in Japan. That experience is clearly reflected in the quiet beauty of this mystical scene, entitled "Morning mist in Wasdale".

The artist returned to the UK 30 years ago, and exhibits mainly through the Beckstone Gallery.

The picture is 82 x 102.5 CMS, and is priced around £295.
See it at the foot of the rear staircase in Hemswell Antique Centres Building 3.
