Cuthbert Crossley "St. Ives" Watercolour

1920 - 1940
Description

Cuthbert Crossley was born in Halifax in 1883. He studied 'Advanced Applied Design' at Halifax School of Art, winning a King's Prize. After WWI he worked as a carpet designer before becoming a full time artist in the 1920s. He was a painter, printmaker and designer, noted for his landscapes, architectural subjects and still life paintings. In 1928 he did a series of etchings of Halifax, and provided illustrations for Hanson's Old Inns of Halifax (1933). He exhibited at many galleries and shows throughout the U.K. After WWII, and in the Spring Exhibition of 1949, he gave his address as Norland, Parc Bean, St Ives. He and his wife both died in St Ives. In 1962 a Memorial Exhibition was held in Bankfield, near Halifax, Yorkshire, where he was born and began to show his artistic talents; a further show of his work was held there in 1973.

"Down Along St. Ives" is an attractive watercolour measuring 11"x 14". It is signed with a monogram lower left and is mounted and framed giving an overall size of  19"x 23".

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

Early 20th-century British watercolour painting is characterised by fluid brushwork, atmospheric depictions of architectural and rural scenery, and a focus on subtle tonal harmony rather than rigid linear detail.

Artists traditionally used water-soluble pigments derived from natural minerals and dyes, applied with natural hair brushes onto heavy cotton-rag paper designed to absorb wash layers.

Authenticity is evaluated through artist signatures or monograms, period-correct paper age and foxing patterns, original framing provenance labels, and pigment characteristics typical of historical colourmen.

Style the painting in a minimalist frame with an exaggerated white mount, or integrate it into a curated gallery wall alongside modern abstract sketches and monochrome photography for balanced visual contrast.

Preserve watercolour art by framing it behind UV-filtering museum glass, securing it with acid-free archival backing, and keeping it away from direct sunlight and high-humidity environments.
