Tim Bowen
Dealer Tim Bowen publishes a regular catalogue filled with Welsh and British antiques, and in the most recent one, a particular highlight is a diorama.
“It’s the best one I’ve owned,” he tells ATG. “I bought it from a collector in north Wales and I’ve been trying to buy it for the last 10 years. The back is wonderful too, very poignant.”
The front of the Welsh folk art object shows a ship in an original wooden frame. The back is decorated in Victorian decoupage, with a family scene of an officer preparing to board a ship. It is possibly from Porthmadog, c.1880, and is offered for £2950.
