About Us
Established in 1972, we specialise in portraits from the 16th to the early 20th century, although we sometimes have in stock landscape and seascape paintings from the 18th century onwards.
In addition we stock furniture of the 17th and 18th centuries and other artefacts dating from 200 B.C. to the 20th century.
The business is internationally known, especially for portraits, and has sold to many major collections including the Historic Royal Palaces Collection.
Viewing is by appointment, or an arrangement can be made for the item to be brought to your home for inspection.
On this website you will find an eclectic mix of items from different times, cultures and countries - some costly, some not... but all of them, we hope you agree, of interest and some of great beauty.
We update the site regularly so please keep visiting, and if you require any information about the items on offer don't hesitate to contact us.
SHOULD YOU BUY ANYTHING FROM ROY PRECIOUS ANTIQUES & FINE ART AND ARE NOT HAPPY WITH IT FOR ANY REASON YOU MAY RETURN IT WITHIN SEVEN DAYS OF RECEIPT - you will only be responsible for the carriage.
