About Us
Our passion for preserving history through art
Our Story — A Passion for Antique Prints & Craftsmanship
ForestHillArtsHouse is a family-run studio dedicated to preserving and sharing the beauty of antique and vintage prints. What began as a modest personal collection has grown into an extensive curation of artwork that spans centuries, continents, and subjects.
Our Heritage
Based in North Devon and operating online only, we combine a deep appreciation for historical art with modern conservation practices. Every piece in our collection is carefully curated, researched, and authenticated before being offered for sale. We specialise in original engravings, lithographs, botanical illustrations, and decorative prints from the 18th, 19th, and early 20th centuries.
Our Process
Sourcing: We acquire prints from estate sales, auctions, and private collections across the UK and Europe, selecting only pieces with historical significance and aesthetic appeal.
Authentication: Each print is examined for authenticity, age, and condition. We research provenance and provide accurate descriptions so collectors know exactly what they're purchasing.
Presentation: From our North Devon base, we offer precision custom picture mounts cut to exact specifications and shipped directly to you. Our conservation-grade options use acid-free materials that protect artwork for generations.
Care & Support: Listings include condition details and photography so you can buy with confidence. Orders are packed for transit, sent with tracked delivery, and supported by clear delivery and returns guidance.
North Devon Roots, UK-Wide Online Service
While we're proudly based in North Devon, we serve collectors, interior decorators, and art enthusiasts throughout the United Kingdom. All orders are carefully packaged and shipped via tracked courier to arrive safely at your door.
We operate as an online-only business with no public showroom or visitor counter, allowing us to focus on quality, careful packing, and responsive email support rather than high-street overheads.
Sustainable Practices
We believe in giving historic artwork new life. By preserving and rehoming antique prints, we support sustainable collecting. Our conservation-grade mounting materials protect artwork for 100+ years, reducing the need for future restoration.
