Wick Antiques was established by Charles Wallrock in the early 1980s. Having grown up in the Antiques world Charles developed an extensive wealth of knowledge. Starting out as a ‘man with a van’ he quickly gained a good reputation and embarked on a longstanding relationship with Harrods. He was later joined by his wife, Caroline Wallrock. Caroline having completed a Persian degree, went on to study at Christie’s fine art and then joined Sotheby’s specializing in Islamic and Japanese works of art, as well as taking the occasional auction. Together they make a formidable team with extensive knowledge and buy and sell some of the best items on the market.

Description
Approach to Whitby A Maritime View of the Port of Whitby with Approaching Shipping by George Chambers Senior, 1835
A large scale oil on canvas by this noted maritime artist, the present composition represents a view of the artist’s home port of Whitby. The shoreline is in the distance, complete with a view of Whitby Abbey, familiar to most people from its role in Bram Stoker’s novel Dracula. In the middle ground are a number of trading brigs sailing in to and out of the harbour and a small launch rowing against the choppy sea. The sun is setting, casting a beautiful glow over the background of the picture and contrasting with the cloudy skies in the right and central sections of the work.
Provenance:
Christie’s King Street, Maritime Art, 24th of November 2010, lot 29
Acquired by Alan Russett, author of George Chambers, 1803-1840: His Life and Work by family descent
