Yorkshire artist Walter Meegan showed his talent early. While still a student at Leeds School of Art he won first prize for a painting of a baby sleeping in its mother’s arms. After marriage, he travelled to the United States and opened a studio on Fifth Avenue in New York where he gained great acclaim and moved in circles appropriate for gaining prestigious commissions. However, the death of his youngest child and his wife’s homesickness meant that the family returned to Yorkshire – first to Leeds and then to Scarborough, where the family settled.

It was at the time of the Meegan family’s return to British shores that Walter Meegan became a pupil of the great Yorkshire painter, Atkinson Grimshaw, studying with him at his Leeds studio. Indeed, Meegan is considered by many to be Grimshaw’s greatest disciple.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

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.

Secure Transit

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.

The Sustainable Choice

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.

FAQs

British marine painting from the 19th century typically depicts coastal towns, working harbours, and sailing vessels, reflecting national maritime heritage and changing atmospheric light conditions.

Artists primarily used oil pigments applied to stretched cotton or linen canvas, housed within ornate frames constructed from moulded gesso over wood and finished with gold leaf.

Authentic pieces often exhibit age-appropriate craquelure across the paint layer, original canvas stretchers, artist signatures, and natural oxidisation on the gilded frame surfaces.

Hanging a pair stacked vertically or side-by-side above a console table creates balanced proportion, seamlessly integrating historical fine art into modern interior layouts.

Surfaces should be dusted lightly using a soft dry brush, keeping the artwork away from direct sunlight, radiators, or moisture, and consulting a professional art conservator for deep restoration.
