I am offering for auction a huge, impressive and simply stunning early 20th century oil on canvas of a dramatic seascape with distant sailing vessels, under a towering sky. Beautiful in every aspect, it is house in an impressive gilt frame. Painted by well know marine artist Arthur Wilde Parsons, 1854-1931. Signed and dated 1909 bottom left. A very similar painting to this by Arthur Wilde Parsons sold for nearly €5000 at a top London auction house. The paintings measures 102 x 62 cm. The frame is 128 x 87 cm. Condition of the painting is good. Please view all photos for accurate condition. Ready to hang. Due to the size of the painting, I will send the painting separate to the frame due to weight and risk of damage. This will increase postal charges but give the painting a better opportunity of not being damaged in transit. The frame is given as a gift and has no value. I wrap well but any damage in transit to frame cannot be compensated. You bid on this lot with this knowledge. Arthur Wilde Parsons was a seascape & occasional landscape painter in oil & watercolour from Redland, Bristol. He exhibited at the Royal Academy, Royal Society of British Artists, Royal Institute, & in Birmingham, Liverpool, Glasgow & Manchester. Please note. Due to the fragile nature of old frames and glass, our shippers do not provide insurance for any damage caused during transit. We go to great lengths to ensure each painting is packed and protected to a very high standard but sadly cannot compensate or refund for any damage occurring to frames or glass during transit. Therefore the frame and any glass is a gift to you with zero value and you are bidding on the artwork only. Due to Brexit, there are delays at EU customs borders though the situation is improving. Please do not blame me for delays or any customs duty payable. I really appreciate your understanding and patience. Steve.
