Is there any art/painting experts on here…

[J.kerslake]

Afternoon all, I’m wondering if amongst all the other knowledge people have on here, do we have an art expert among us?
I have been tasked by my mother to sell some oil paintings that came from my grandparents house. The paintings are oil on canvas originals by G.A Chattaway, although on the back of one I have been told it is a copy of another painting, but not a print. I’m hoping some one may have some knowledge, or can point me in the right direction to having them valued some where in the south west, preferably Wiltshire area!

A Google search suggests the artist is George Anthony Chattaway (b.1931j, known as Tony Chattaway. Author of an autobiography “By the Water’s Edge.”

Most of his works seem to go for a few hundred pounds.

Paints a great swallow also.

For a proper valuation perhaps try an auctioneers like Henry Aldridge (Devizes), Kidson-Trigg (Shrivenham), Dreweatt Neate or Specialist Auction Services (both Newbury).

Or Woolley Wallis in Salisbury.

Perfect, Devizes is only down the road
