Framed Vintage 1990s Selectadisc Record Shop Plastic Bag – Nottingham London

Jon Nix — Wed, 12 Apr 2023 00:01:54 +0000

OK, so it might not quite qualify strictly as "vintage" but it certainly feels like a piece of memorabilia from a bye-gone age now. If you were a teenager in Nottingham or its surrounding area in the 1980s or 1990s, then you might immediately recognise this bag. As iconix as the shop fronts which bore the same design, perhaps. This bag dates slightly later than the original Nottingham shop(s), as it include the later Soho London store's details. The same store which featured on the cover of Oasis' 1995 album "(What's The Story) Morning Glory?".

The bag - measuring 34cm by 39cm - has been paired with a pre-owned Sixtrees frame which has a plain white surround and provides a suitable and understated complement to the bag and the record shop branding.

Pair of Matching Signed Framed Rei Hamon Pointillism Landscape Prints

Jon Nix — Wed, 30 Oct 2019 07:52:23 +0000

An unusual find, this signed pair of large matching Rei Hamon litho prints date from the 1970s and have been appropriately framed for display as an eye-catching double act. Hamon was born in Auckland in 1919 and died in 2008, and, having taken it up in his middle age, was prolific and successful with his trademark pointillist skills through the latter part of the 1960s into the early 1980s, before arthritis forced a slowdown in his output. Reknowned for his knowledge of the environment and attention to the native species of New Zealand, his work combines technical skill with an individualistic approach to the subject. He was made a CBE in 1981.

Hamon's "Jewels of Okarito" from 1976 was presented by the New Zealand government to Queen Elizabeth II on her state visit, and forms one of the pair. "Return to Still Waters" from 1978 completes the couple. Both have been signed - with the latter including an indication of its edition number (128) and date in the same hand.

In good condition with some minor discoloration to the prints due to age, these are fine examples of the artist's exhaustive work on the flora and fauna of New Zealand, of pointillist technique specificially, and of sympathetic landscape art in general.

The prints are displayed inside apertures measuring 28.5 cm by 22.5 cm (11¼ in. by 8¾ in. approx.). The frames measure 46.5 cm by 40 cm (18 in. by 15¾ in. approx.). The mounts are a complementary dark grey colour. The prints are being sold as a pair but please get in touch if you would like to purchase one of them as an individual piece.

Framed Stipplework Waterside scene by John Hull Grundy MBE FRES FRSA

Jon Nix — Sun, 29 Jul 2018 11:33:53 +0000

A renowned name in medical illustration, (Prof.) John Hull Grundy was also an entymologist, teacher, anatomist, author and artist of considerable repute, exhibiting throughout his life and notably in 1976 at the Royal Army Medical college where his full range of works - done in his trademark stippling style - were on display. His wife, Anne Hull Grundy (nee Ullmann) was also a signifcant figure in the art world, a collector and benefactor whose bequests and donations can be found in substantial quality and number.

This framed print of a waterside scene is a nice example of Grundy's delicate and meticulous stippling technique. Measuring 21.5cm x 17.5cm (8½ in. x 6¾ in.) inside a frame 33cm x 37.5 (11 in. x 14¾ in.) the work is complemented by a pale green mount. We rather like the presentation but also think that a contemporary re-framing and re-mounting of it would do a lot to enhance what is a very striking piece.

Vintage Original Signed Oil Painting of Gara Rock by K. S. White (Kay White)

Jon Nix — Sun, 22 Apr 2018 21:13:35 +0000

A very impressive and well-executed oil painting which we believe dates from the early 1970s. Our research reveals that the artist K. S. White (Kay White) was active and painted other scenes around this time. Regardless of its origins, we simply like this painting of Gara Rock in Devon with its sensitive colour palette and very dextrous paint handling and textures. This really is a good quality artwork by a clearly very capable artist.

The painting is on Fine Grain 18 in. x 14 in. inch Daler Board (the nature of which also provides a good indication of the date) and is in good, clean condition. The colours are good and there is no damage to the board or the frame. The painting is signed at the bottom right "Kay White" and the rear of the board reads "K. S. White Gara Rock"

Vintage Colourful Framed Camberwick Green / Trumpton Postcards (Pair)

Pugh, Pugh, Barney McGrew, Cuthbert, Dibble, Grubb.

Iconic words to those people of a certain age. And these iconic postcards will be enjoyed by those very same people and beyond, with their colourful stills from the BBC's Camberwick Green television program and complementary coloured framing. The postcards date from 1969 and were sent and franked in 1970. We love these and think they are charmingly nostalgic items which will appeal to young and old alike.

The glossy red frames are modern and repurposed. They allow for both standing and wall hanging, and measure 15.5cm x 20.5cm x 3.5cm (6in x 8in x 1½ in approx.)

Vintage Framed Large “The Cock” Swedish Matchbox label

Jon Nix — Mon, 12 Feb 2018 18:13:39 +0000

For your delectation, we present a slightly unusual object: a large (14cm by 17cm / 5½ in by 6¾ in) vintage matchbox label mounted and displayed inside a repurposed striking matt black frame. The frame has a fixing for hanging via a picture nail.

We probably don't need to say too much more than that, except to add that the size of the frame is 25.5cm by 43cm (14 in by 17 in). If size is important to you, of course.

Original signed pencil drawing, St. Peter’s Church Nottingham – Alan Sherwin

Jon Nix — Sat, 10 Feb 2018 18:40:35 +0000

A framed original pencil drawing of the West Screen inside St. Peter's Church in the centre of Nottingham by artist Alan Sherwin.

The artist has annotated and signed the drawing, which is mounted inside an aperture of 10cm by 21cm (4 x 8¼in) with a frame measuring by 24cm by 40cm (9½ x 15¾in). The drawing has some signs of age, including some discolouration, but is a very good piece which would not only be of considerable local interest but also more generally as a fine drawing and example of ecclesiastical art.
