Examples :
Painting sold to a customer in Germany ..
' I cannot recommend Mark highly enough - the entire process was smooth, surprisingly fast, the painting was just as described (and more impressive in person), packaging was very secure, and Mark was extremely friendly and helpful. All of this makes me very happy to be a customer again in the future.'
Georgian Toilet Mirror. Customer in Australia ..
''Breathtakingly beautiful Mahogany toilet mirror ! Delicately dovetailed drawers are as smooth as silk. The acorn finials are a treat. The mahogany has a marvelous lustre and fine patina consumate with its age.
Beautifully packed with extreme care it arrived in pristine condition. This seller is an absolute joy to work with ! Many thanks.''
Document Cabinet. Customer in the UK
''A gorgeous piece of furniture. It was really well packaged for delivery and seller sent some useful notes about the locking mechanism.''

Description
This is a pair of late 18thC maritime reverse painted engravings on glass. (The technique is described below)
They feature 2 Sailing 'Cutters' - The Greyhound Excise Cutter & The Baileys Cutter.
1) The Greyhound Excise Cutter. Capt Wm Watson 'On a wind chasing'
I released this from its frame to show details of the overpainting to the rear of the glass. See photo showing the opaque background layers of paint.
The full details of the engraving are written along the bottom but are partly obscured when framed:
The Greyhound Excise Cutter
Capt Wm Watson - On a wind chasing
Drawn by T Soutter
Published 1st September 1794 by Laurie & Whittle 53 Fleet
Street London
2) The Baileys Cutter. Capt Sutter. Passing the Eddystone Lighthouse'
A copy of this print is in the National Maritime collection:
Drawn by T Soutter, published 4th April 1795 by Laurie & Whittle 53 Fleet Street London".
In all there were a series of 6 prints made, mostly of Excise Cutters
This print is No. 4 in the series.
Both paintings are in very good condition throughout
Small air bubbles are present.
The frames are early 20th C.
Reverse painted prints on glass - is an ancient art form whereby engravings are applied to the rear of a sheet of glass and the image is then painted over from behind with successive layers of paint, starting with the detail and finishing with the background.
Viewed from the front the images become vibrant, bright and glossy, and of course well preserved behind the glass.
