Cuthbert Crossley "The Sloop, 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.

"The Sloop, St. Ives" in a lovely example of his work. A watercolour measuring about 13"x 17" it is signed with a monogram lower left and is mounted into the old oak frame giving an overall size of 21"x 26".

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

Artworks from this period often focus on regional architecture, coastal light, and everyday village life, using subtle colour washes and precise draftsmanship to document historical locations.

Artists typically utilised ground mineral and plant pigments dissolved in a water-soluble binder, applied onto heavy cotton or rag paper substrates to allow translucent layering.

Authentic period pieces usually feature original signatures or monograms, characteristic paper aging or foxing, and fine brushwork techniques consistent with historical regional art schools.

Displaying framed watercolours above low-profile sideboards or within gallery walls introduces historical depth and muted tones that complement both contemporary minimalist and classic decors.

Keep watercolours framed behind UV-filtering glass with acid-free mounting materials, and hang them away from direct sunlight and high humidity to prevent pigment fading and paper degradation.
