We are looking for works by:

Artist:	Nam Cheong (Chinese, active 1845-1870) - Oilpaintings on canvas

Prices:	Prices starting at BP 800 (Great Britain) or $ 1,800 (in the USA). Prices depend on subject, size, date, quality and condition. Please send us an e-mail to receive an exact offer for your work by this artist (free of charge for persons considering to sell their painting).
Notes:	A typical feature of his paintings is the thin canvas and soemtimes the large size (eg. 65 x 108cm), unfortunately his paintings are rarely signed.
