Oil Painting of Jessamine Cottages, Nottingham by Ernest Cox

1920 - 1940
Description

A charming oil on board by Ernest Cox (exh.1909-1938) depicting Jessamine Cottages in Nottingham. The work is beautifully and charmingly done in a simple and free impressionist manner depicting a bright summer day with the cottage gardens in full bloom. Jessamine Cottages were in the centre of Nottingham near the castle on Gillyflower hill but have sadly been demolished. Ernest Cox is not a well-known artist and seems to have only exhibited in Nottingham at the Castle Art Gallery which he did 56 times, an impressive number. The work is in excellent condition and framed in a good quality and substantial frame, almost certainly the original but reused from an earlier work. The whole has a great decorative look and is ready to hang. C.1930

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.

Early 20th-century British landscape painting often features realistic or post-impressionist depictions of rural scenery, village architecture, and domestic gardens. Artists focused on capturing local light, natural textures, and regional topography using oil paints on canvas or wood panel.

These artworks typically consist of oil-based pigments applied to a linen canvas or timber board, mounted within a molded wooden frame. The frames are often embellished with plaster detailing and finished with gold leaf or metallic gilding.

Authentic period paintings display natural signs of age, including subtle surface cracking known as craquelure, paint layering with visible brushwork, and genuine wear along the frame edges. Look for an artist signature on the front corner and period-appropriate canvas stretching or mounting on the reverse.

A framed landscape painting can be styled by positioning it as a focal point above a console table, sideboard, or mantelpiece. Pairing traditional art with contemporary furnishings creates a curated contrast that adds historical interest to neutral or modern rooms.

Keep oil paintings away from direct sunlight, extreme humidity, and direct heat sources to prevent fading or warping. Dust the frame gently with a dry, soft microfibre brush, avoiding chemical cleaners or water on the painted surface.
