George Goodwin Kilburne RI, ROI (1839-1924)

Kilburne was born in Hackford, near Reepham, Norfolk and was educated at Hawkhurst, Kent. At the age of 15 he went to London to serve a five-year apprenticeship as a wood engraver with the Dalziel brothers. He remained with the firm for a further year before leaving to take up watercolour and oil painting professionally, quickly becoming a highly successful and busy artist. His paintings often portrayed fashionably dressed figure groups, sometimes in Regency costume. The themes included musical gatherings, social events and sporting occasions. He also designed and executed a great number of greetings and Christmas cards for the firms of Raphael Tuck & Sons and de la Rue. He contributed a large number of black and white pictures to The Graphic, The Illustrated London News and Cassell’s Magazine. For much of his working life Kilburne lived in fashionable Hampstead, north London. He exhibited at the Royal Academy, Grosvenor Gallery and elsewhere and was a member of the Royal Society of Painters in Water Colours, Royal Miniature Society, Royal Institute of Oil Painters. Works by him are in the collections of the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool, Manchester City Art Gallery and Sheffield Art Gallery. His eldest son, George Goodwin Kilburne Jnr, also became a very successful artist.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Victorian equestrian art focuses on countryside pursuits, fox hunting, and detailed portraits of horses. Popularised in nineteenth-century Britain, these works capture movement, detailed landscape settings, and social sporting traditions.

These works typically consist of oil-based pigments applied to stretched linen or cotton canvas. Frames from this era were constructed from carved timber coated in composition mouldings and finished with applied gold leaf.

Authentic period oil paintings exhibit natural age craquelure across the paint layer, canvas darkening or oxidisation on the reverse, and appropriate wear to the gilding on the frame edges.

Displaying traditional sporting art above a fireplace mantelpiece or as part of a gallery wall creates visual contrast against contemporary muted wall shades.

Dust gently with a soft dry brush to prevent damage to fragile gilding. Keep the artwork away from direct sunlight, excess humidity, and direct heat sources.
