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 Wall-mounted Sculpture of Four Sandpipers, Carved, Painted and With Bound Copper Wire, Mounted on a Moulded Framed Panel, by Guy Taplin (B.1939).
Taplin, who began his career as a birdkeeper at Regent’s Park before turning to sculpture, has long drawn on the wild landscapes of the Essex coast for inspiration. His birds are not literal representations but poetic distillations – forms pared down to their essence, full of character, wit and grace. Taplin’s practice blends the raw and the refined, the intuitive and the timeless.
Guy Taplin’s works are sought across the globe, and he has exhibited no less than 14 times at David Mussums fine art London.
