Busy Week for McTears...

Next week is set to be a busy week for McTears and to finish March we have various auctions throughout the week with a range of exciting and unique pieces to be auctioned.

Our Fine and Contemporary Pictures auction on Tuesday 27th March will feature a variety of fine painting by predominantly Scottish artists of the last 200 years but it will also include a selection of contemporary pictures. The Carlops Village, watercolour on paper, painted by Sir William George Gillies is a fine example of the types of paintings that will be auctioned. Born in 1898 in Haddington, East Lothian, William began his artistic career at the Edinburgh College of Art in 1916. After graduating he went on to teach for 40 years at ECA and in 1922 founded an exhibition society, '1922'. 'Carlops Village' is a great portrayal of his style and use of more traditional painting with the linear composition and subtle colour palette.

 Our Furniture & Works of Art auction on Thursday 29th March will also feature fine and unique pieces of furniture and works of art from the 18th-20th centuries. With the 100th anniversary of Titanic's fateful voyage approaching, McTears is delighted to offer a stunning model of ship in this auction. To date, the Titanic's tragic story still remains in the public eye and heart and this intricate model is sure to attract much attention.
