Original Vintage Fine Art
Vintage Marines & Seascapes

Please Visit our NEW Website with More Antique Seascape and Marine Oil Paintings

For the past 25 years we have collected, bought and sold the most rare and desirable Autographed treasures, Vintage Movie Posters, Historical Memorabilia, antique toys, and other RARE antiques and collectibles. Over the past several years we have fallen prey to the joy and investment potential with High Quality Fine Art, particular oil paintings from some of the most talented artists of the last three centuries.

Although we have acquired some great work from popular American Artists, it has been the stunning classic landscapes, villages and ships at sea from Demark , Norway and other European countries that has captured our admiration and often leaves us in awe. Our collection is comprised of 18th, 19th Century and early 20th Century.  Our exciting collection embraces primarily Realism, but also ventures into Abstract and Impressionism.

Most of our vintage art is signed by a "Listed Artist" and for some we list auction result examples for that artist's work. On others without a signature? Well, these were such incredibly amazing works of art, we just didn't care if there was a signature or not. One such example is the amazing "Battle at Sea" below. It is signed, however, we've yet to identify the artist. But what an astonishing piece. We think you will agree.

Here we are offering Spectacular Vintage Fine Art

Stunning Seascape Moonlight Scene

Striking 19th Century Moonlight scene, with sail ships, mountains and fishermen.

Artist: Cannot see a signature

Date: Early 20th century. Because this piece was paperbacked long ago, the canvas apparently didn't suffer the usually darkening and corrosion often seen with opened backed canvas paintings. Hence, the canvas looks clean. However, the mounting, old brittle paper backing and frame suggests this was from early 1900's. 

Condition: Exceptional. None of the usually crackling. This is most likely result  to being paperbacked preventing moisture and air from coming through the rear of canvas into the paint. 

Size: 22.5x27" framed, 14x20" unframed. 

Spectacular 19th century gold ornate frame. Stunning complement to this piece.
