Paintings, prints, and works of art feature regularly in Boldon Auctions’ fortnightly sales. We offer works that cater to a broad spectrum of preferences, which appeal to both collectors of historical and more contemporary art. Artists such as Norman Stansfield Cornish, Bob Olley, and Tom McGuinness produced works that illustrated industrial mining life in the North East and as a result achieved premium results at our auction house. In June 2025, we sold a charming pen and ink sketch by Cornish depicting the Berriman’s chip van which frequented the streets of Spennymoor, thus showcasing the strength of the market for his artwork. Other artists that appeal to our buyers include John Wilson Carmichael and William Thomas Nichols Boyce, who produced exquisite maritime scenes of local subject matter, as well as Ralph Hedley and Alfred Ainslie O’Brien.
Here at Boldon Auctions, our experts are dedicated to providing an honest and personable appraisal of your artwork.
