An Early 19th Century Oil on Canvas Portrait of a Lady, Circa 1830

19th century
Description

This lovely original well painted portrait depicts a lady in a reddish-brown dress with large puffed sleeves and a fine lace neck and collar. She is also wearing a lace trimmed bonnet. The subject is most likely early American from her costume. The painting is in good original condition. It does show signs of tension on the canvas from the stretcher frame and there is some age related crazing to the paint. But the colours are bright and it has a very good decorative appeal. It is displayed in its original deep bevelled gilt wooden slip and broad moulded solid oak original frame.

Circa 1830

Dealers Notes

Robert Belcher Antiques was established in 1984 and is a high-quality retailer of interesting, rare antiques and decorative objects. After forty years of shop keeping and maintaining beautiful showrooms, which have been regularly open six days a week, Robert and Wendy have now taken a slightly different approach to their business. Having sold their retail premises, the antique business is now fully online. The picture framing service has ceased to operate because of moving online.

You can contact Robert and Wendy by email or telephone to discuss items from their extensive catalogue of attractive pieces and make purchases. Customers can rest assured that the long-established dealership is continuing to run in an exceedingly professional way, selling genuine and high-quality items which are guaranteed to please the most discerning collector, decorator or homeowner.

All items will be personally hand packaged to a high standard. Small items are extensively wrapped using the best materials and are often double boxed. Items are then shipped with DHL or Royal Mail fully insured and often with next day delivery. Larger items would be personally delivered or sent with a specialist antique delivery firm, or for outside the U.K, a professional shipping company.

Please enjoy viewing their collection of rare and interesting pieces and have the assurance that Robert and Wendy will do their utmost to make sure your experience is exceptional, as has been recognised by many customers who have bought with confidence regularly over the years.

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.

Portraits from the 1830s bridge the transition between late Georgian elegance and early Victorian realism. Subjects were often depicted in fashionable attire of the decade, such as bonnet headwear, wide collars, and voluminous gigot sleeves, with a focus on restrained elegance and naturalistic representation.

Artists during this period primarily applied oil-based pigments mixed with linseed oil onto stretched linen or cotton canvas. Frames were typically constructed from carved or moulded wood, often finished with gilding or natural wood veneers.

Authentic pieces from this period exhibit age-appropriate craquelure across the paint layer, natural darkening or oxidisation on the reverse of the canvas, and hand-cut timber stretcher frames. Original canvas stretchers often show evidence of period tacking along the edges.

An antique portrait can be positioned as a focal point above a sideboard or fireplace mantle, creating visual contrast against contemporary wall colours. Alternatively, it can be integrated into a gallery wall alongside a mix of different eras and framing styles.

To preserve oil paintings, hang them away from direct sunlight, extreme temperature fluctuations, and high humidity. Cleaning should be limited to light dusting with a soft, dry brush, leaving professional restoration or varnish removal to qualified art conservators.
