Featured Found in the shed.

A pair of English oils, landscapes.





A really dirty Victorian 'Old Man Walking'



A small landscape with a possible artist's name on the back stamp of the canvas, but it may be just the supplier and framer of the picture.

and a pretty old map, on laid paper, possibly 17th C.





A few things there to research before they go off to the auction.

 

bloody fine paintings......to be from the shed !!!
I'd venture !

 

Very nice finds!

 

You have to love a dirty old man painting. (just beating King to it)

 

I remember on the old site AF adding his 2 cents about a low table I had questions about. "I'd throw it in my shed." Was the short reply.

I was somewhat taken aback.

Later I realized that the best things are in AF's shed.

 

What the heck kind of shed do you have - or does the word "shed" have a different meaning than the one in the "states".

 

British sheds are a big thing. Here are photos of sheds of the year for 2016, from The Guardian. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/gallery/2016/may/25/shed-of-the-year-2016-competition

AF has explained sheds before, but it was a long time ago and in a place far away. Maybe he will talk about about his shed.

 

Sheds are for those who are land-challenged enough that they can't purchase a shipping container or school bus to store their hoard, and have a decent enough climate that temperature changes won't kill the things they have out in the shed.

 

I'll swap you the stuff in your shed for the stuff on my shelves?

 

He doesn't look like such a bad Dirty Old Man to meeeeee!!!
OOOOOOOH, and I wanna see your shed, I wanna see your shed!!!!!!!!!

 

Didn't he post pictures here a while back? (Maybe quite a while and in a thread not his own, but I could swear he did.)

Here's a pdf file of an 1886 Essex directory with him listed as a frame maker.

I'll show you mine if you show me yours .....

 

There are some interior pictures in the thread Hoarder or Storer.


From left to right, first three windows, the shed.
Door in the crook of the L shape. Then there is an interior wall. The next door is to the garage, which is the rest of the building and ends where the picture ends.

The house beyond is the next door neighbour. The shed bricks and tiles and windows were chosen to match our house to help blend the thing in.

The white edifice is a summer house by Boulton and Paul, a once local firm more famous for making aircraft. The summer house will not fly but it is on wheels on a circular iron track so it can be rotated to face the sun. I think it dates from the late 1920s.

The green folding chair is for sitting in and sorting small stuff when it is too nice to be indoors.

Total cost about £20,000, from ebay profits.

 

AF, I forgot that your shed looks better on the outside than my house does!

 

Shed envy!

 

AWESUMMMMM!!!!! Didn't you post pictures way back when you were going to buy this???????

 

OH!!!
You 'beat' me cause I left that one alone.
I don't always allow my punny bone to run wild.

 

What a bunch of shed!
