BIOGRAPHY.

Phyllis Morgans lived at Walberswick, Suffolk and was the wife of Dr W M Morgans FRSC.

She trained at St Martin’s School of Art, London. Her career started in graphic art when she became a fashion artist and designer. Her love of portraiture took her into the field of oils and, in turn, led her to painting landscapes, seascapes, flowers etc. in all types of media.

She was awarded the Freedom of the “Worshipful Company of Painters” and was a member of the “Royal Glasgow Institute of Fine Art”. Her work had resulted in many awards including the winning of a national contest organised by the magazine “She” and the emblem of the “Tradescant Trust” was designed by her.

She was chosen to represent the “Royal Society of Marine Artists”, the “Royal Institute of Oil Paintings”, the “Industrial Painting Group” and contemporary artists in municipal galleries and abroad.

Her work had also been favourably reviewed in the “Journal of the Federation of British Artists”, “Arts Review, London”, “La Revue Moderne, Paris” and “Diario da Manha, Lisbon”.

Phyllis Morgans held a considerable number of solo shows and many of her works had been reproduced, several in the “Laing” calendars.

Public and private collections throughout the world contain many of her paintings.

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.

Twentieth-century impressionist landscape paintings typically feature expressive, visible brushwork, emphasis on natural light, and a harmonious palette. Artists often worked outdoors to capture immediate atmospheric effects, producing impasto textures and layered composition.

Traditional oil paintings are created using oil-based pigments applied to stretched linen or cotton canvas. Frames from this period are commonly crafted from timber with plaster or gesso mouldings finished in gold leaf or gilded paint.

Authentic pieces display natural aging, such as subtle paint craquelure, oxidation on the reverse side of the canvas, and genuine frame wear. Artist signatures, exhibition labels, or provenance markings on the stretcher bars further verify authenticity.

A framed traditional landscape can act as a focal point above a fireplace, sideboard, or desk. Pairing classic gilded artwork with contemporary furniture creates balanced visual contrast within both modern and heritage homes.

Keep oil paintings away from direct sunlight, high humidity, and heat sources to prevent cracking and canvas distortion. Clean frames gently with a soft dry brush and avoid chemical solvents or moisture on the painted surface.
