A charming and atmospheric antique watercolour depicting a coastal shipwreck scene. The composition shows a grounded sailing vessel listing on a rocky shoreline, with waves breaking against the coast and additional ships visible on the horizon. The subdued palette of sepia, grey-blue, and soft ochre tones lends the piece a distinctly 19th-century maritime character.
The painting is housed within a highly decorative frame featuring an embossed scrolling foliate design with a bronzed patina finish. The central aperture is further enhanced by a stepped giltwood inner frame and cream mount, creating a pleasing sense of depth and focus on the artwork.

A finely executed Victorian portrait miniature depicting a young gentleman in three-quarter pose, dressed in a dark coat with a patterned cravat. The sitter is rendered with delicate detailing to the facial features, particularly the eyes and hair, characteristic of mid-19th century miniature portraiture.
The composition is presented within a gilt oval slip, set against a cream mount, and housed in a striking ebonised frame richly decorated with scrolling acanthus and foliate motifs. The frame, likely of moulded composition (gesso over wood), adds a strong decorative presence and is typical of Victorian taste for ornate display.
