Hey there. I'm looking to sell some 100+ year old antique oil paintings. I'm downsizing and unfortunately don't have room for them all. I would love it if they went to someone locally. I know GR has a pretty large art scene. Please message me if interested. Thanks!
I have information for each one, as well as many more photo angles.
Some of my grandfather's antique oil painting collection. Thought you all might appreciate them. I kept a few (not pictured), but unfortunately will have to sell the rest. It's such a shame because they are all stunning and all 100+ years old.
Hey everyone. I wasn't expecting my original post to get as much attention as it did. Thank you. It's honestly really nice to be amongst a community who really appreciates and values antique artwork. I thought I'd post all of the information and links to all photos more concisely here.
I also wanted to make it known that YES, I am absolutely willing to negotiate prices. And if you happen to live within the US and buy more than one, I'll make you some sort of deal for sure. I would really like these to go to people who would love and cherish them. Thank you again.
