Originals, Prints, and Limited Editions

Courtenay’s Fine Art deals in a wide array of works from unique, original paintings to limited-edition prints - by a large roster of British and European artists. Their collection includes works by many well-known names in the art world as well as lesser-known or emerging artists, catering to diverse tastes and aesthetic preferences. 

Custom Framing & Bespoke Services

In addition to selling art, the gallery offers bespoke framing services. If you find a piece you like, they can frame it for you according to your specifications. This makes it easy to purchase art that’s ready to hang. 

They also provide interior décor advice, which can help you choose pieces that fit with your home or office design. This adds value for clients who want guidance in selecting art that complements their space.

Investment-Grade Art & Collector’s Pieces

Courtenay’s doesn’t just cater to casual buyers - it also offers investment-grade art. Their “Investment Opportunities” section features works by recognised or historically important artists, often with provenance and framing details. These pieces are sometimes offered at discounted prices compared to earlier valuations, making them appealing to collectors.
