Pair of Continental Oils on Tin

19th century
Description

A pair of oils on copper depicting a grandmother teaching a granddaughter to knit and one of a grandfather reading to his grandson. I am unable to decipher the signature on the paintings (see photo) but the style and dress of the characters suggest to me that they could be Dutch, Flemish or German. As always, I am open to suggestions. I believe that they are early to mid-nineteenth century. The frames are maple wood and are of the period.

They are very finely painted with great detail. The actual painting without the frame measures 19.5cm X 16cm.

We can deliver free of charge in UK mainland and can calculate the cost for international delivery.

Payment by bank transfer, Paypal or card via telephone.

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

Oils on tin refer to small-scale paintings executed on metal sheets, a technique popular across Continental Europe throughout the 18th and 19th centuries, particularly for detailed domestic genre scenes.

Artists prepared a thin sheet of iron coated with tin to prevent rusting, applying a specialised primer before painting in fine oil glazes, often framing the finished piece in rich wood veneers like birds eye maple.

Authentic pieces usually exhibit minor surface craquelure, subtle oxidisation on the exposed reverse metal edges, and hand-cut tin panels fitted into contemporary period frames.

Position the pair symmetrically above a console table or sideboard, allowing the warm wood frames and detailed genre scenes to add historical depth to a minimalist or traditional room.

Keep the paintings in a climate-controlled environment to prevent moisture entrapment between the metal substrate and paint layer, cleaning the surface only with a soft dry cloth.
