Charles Eyres Simmons- Le Grand Chateau, Port Aven - Watercolour

1900 - 1920
Description

Charles Eyres Simmons – Watercolour – Le Grand chateau, Port Aven – Signed & Inscribed – Colourful and Attractive

Charles Eyres Simmons was born at Rainham, Kent early in 1872. By 1881 his family had moved to Kingston in Surrey where his father was a coachman. He became a watercolour artist of landscapes, harbour and coastal scenes. He studied under Hubert COOP. Through his career he seems to have moved to many places and has not been found on the 1891 or 1901 census returns. By 1901 he was living at Cardisland, Herefordshire and he married Aimee Emily Swayne in the Weobly RD towards the end of 1901. She had been born in France.

By 1911 he, his wife and sister in law were living at Ruan Minor Churchtown on the Lizard. He later moved to Devon, then the Channel Isles before finally living at Hastings. He died at Hastings early in 1955 aged 83. He exhibited at the Dudley Gallery, Piccadilly and in Liverpool in the period 1902 – 14.

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.

The Pont-Aven movement, originating in Brittany during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, is characterised by impressionistic light, simplified forms, bold compositions, and a focus on coastal or rural French scenes.

Artists typically used water-soluble pigments applied to heavy cotton rag paper, often mounted on card and framed under glass with protective mounts to prevent environmental degradation.

Authentic period watercolours feature artist signatures, characteristic paper ageing or foxing, visible brushwork layering, period-correct framing, and provenance or title inscriptions on the reverse.

A framed historical watercolour pairs effectively with minimalist contemporary furniture or traditional wooden joinery, serving as a focal point above a console table, mantelpiece, or within a gallery wall.

Watercolours should be hung away from direct sunlight and high humidity to prevent fading and paper warping. Displaying the work behind UV-protective glass with acid-free mounting board helps ensure long-term preservation.
