Picture This – Antique Paintings At Regent Antiques

Despite having an enviable reputation as suppliers of very fine antique furniture, especially antique dining tables, here at Regent Antiques we do love a nice picture so we ask our buyers to always be on the look out for something nice to look at – such as antique paintings.

So, I thought I’d take a look around our north London showroom and see  what we currently have available and there are a number of new arrivals for you to see, including this pair of antique coloured lithographic prints entitled ‘Snookered’ and ‘Left’, after Lance Thackeray dating from circa 1910:

These prints are mounted within oak frames with an interesting snooker cue and ball decoration. Each has a plaque inscribed with the title of the pictures which are; “Snookered” and “Left”.

The prints are initialed LT and they are also signed and numbered set 45 on the mounts making these an ideal present for a snooker/billiards enthusiast.

Our next selection is this interesting set of antique 18th century style framed prints entitled ‘Billiards’ after H. Bunbury circa 1930 which also includes a framed set of fifty Ogdens Cigarette cards from the ‘Trick Billiards’ series.

Moving away from snooker now, we turn our attention to this antique oil on canvas painting of a ‘Nobleman & His Wife’ dating from around 1850:
