I started Annabel Murphy Art to sell affordable vintage paintings and prints. I have always loved to collect art. Like many of us, I don’t have a huge budget to buy art but have always wanted a home filled with lots of paintings and prints.

In my twenties, I was fortunate enough to spend time in Italy studying Renaissance art, prior to gaining a degree in the history of Fine and Decorative Art and a Masters in Contemporary Art. I have worked for both The Saatchi Gallery and The Tate, and I believe this background helps in providing affordable and beautiful works of art for sale. Most of all, though, I don't sell anything that I don't love and wouldn't hang in my own home.

The pieces are sourced from auction houses, antiques fairs and house sales across the UK and Europe. The aim is to provide a wide range from decorative sets of prints to still lives, paintings of animals and the more expressionist and abstract landscapes and townscapes of the 20th century.

At Annabel Murphy Art, I believe it’s very important that the works are sold in frames that suit the piece. Many of the works I sell have been reframed in bespoke hand-painted frames, so they are ready to be hung in your home straight away. If the work is being sold in its original frame, I will endeavour to make sure the frame is in reasonable condition, but the buyer should be aware that the frame may need some attention.

If you have a specific type of painting or print in mind, please do get in touch, as I love to source specific pieces as well.
