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
A signed Water colour by Charles Dixon of yachts of Calshot in the Solent.
It appears that the two gaff rigged yachts are racing and heading on port tack to the east with the steam yacht and squared rigger spectating.
Charles Dixon was a marine painter in oils as well as watercolour and had a wonderful ability to catch the vibrant colours of the water. He mainly painted scenes of steam and sail on the Thames, south coast and yachting including Cowes Week and other yachting regattas.
He lived at Itchenor, near Chichester, Sussex.
