Antique 1868 Signed and Dated Victorian Coastal Oil Painting by James Webb

A fine antique Victorian coastal oil painting by James Webb, signed and dated 1868. The painting captures a dramatic coastal scene with wonderful atmosphere, depth, and movement, typical of 19th century maritime and landscape painting.

James Webb was a respected British Victorian artist best known for his atmospheric marine, coastal, and landscape scenes. His work often focused on harbours, estuaries, shipping, open seas, and dramatic skies, with a strong sense of light and place. Webb exhibited during the 19th century and his paintings remain appreciated for their traditional English charm, detail, and painterly quality.

This piece has a lovely period presence, with the date 1868 adding strong historical interest. The frame has been touched up by our restorer, improving its presentation while keeping its antique character intact.

There are expected signs of age and use, including gentle craquelure, patina, and minor age-related wear, all consistent with a genuine Victorian oil painting.

A beautiful signed and dated coastal oil painting by James Webb, full of 19th century atmosphere, maritime character, and decorative country house appeal.

Caring for your items

Vintage period and original items, such as leather seating, will always have a natural patina in the form of cracking, creasing and wear.

We recommend regular waxing to ensure no moisture is lost and to keep out of sunlight.

For Hand-Dyed leather items, we don't recommend placing them in direct sunlight for prolonged periods, as they will dry out and fade.

For wood, we recommend regular, thorough cleaning and waxing also.
