From the Studio of Fred Cuming. 19th century Continental school, oil on canvas, Still life of flowers, 54 x 44cm. Condition - poor Note: “This is an interesting side lot of art and artistic ephemera from the extensive collection of Fred Cuming RA and his wife Audrey, who travelled and worked together around the UK and Europe. They were avid collectors of objects, anything curious or beautiful, many of these items would have caught their eye for some rare aesthetic or technical quality but quite often many items would simply have possessed a unique and naïve charm. There are several pieces that may have been the work of a student or amateur, nevertheless they found them exquisite. The majority of pieces from this small collection were displayed in their home for many years among an incredibly rich and varied array of his own work and that of his contemporaries. They would have been purchased over the course of a period spanning five decades or more, from the family’s early beginnings at Egerton House in Kent, Hythe, Wittersham and finally Iden in East Sussex where the family settled.” £50-80
